Breitling Emergency Bracelet

[Watchflair]

Question - I have the original Breitling Emergency and want to put the newer bracelet on it. Is that possible?

I purchased a titanium professional bracelet but it came with 130E end links - from what I’m seeing I need 138E… can anyone confirm?

Appreciate any insight if anyone had done this - I don’t believe there was a case change so I’m assuming it’s just an end link swap.






Here’s a pic of the bracelet I purchased:

I’ve seen two other posts on different forums through a Google search regarding the same topic but no one followed up with a conclusion lol.

Emergency bracelet is hard to find?

I have been looking for a used Pro I bracelet for a few years already.

I don’t believe hard to find. Just need to figure out a solution to the end links on this particular one.

The case was not changed right? Have you compared the two different # end links and mated to your case?
I believe it is merely a complete swap.

My end links are marked 863E and my bracelet is a 904. I bought my watch new in the early 2000's.
I can check the paperwork, if you need.

Looking at your 130E link, it has a "bump" build up at the ends of the link at the spring pin location. My 863e links do not have these protrusions.

I am assuming it is to keep the end link 9and bracelet) in a more "fixed" position to the case, much like Rolex started to do to keep the
bracelet in a more "round" natural position with the solid end links, right ?

Funny thing, I was thinking about updating my Emergency bracelet as well. Following this . . .

I have a call into my watchmaker friend that has a fellow watchmaker friend at Breitling. Trying to get info. Would prefer to just swap the end links if possible.

What bracelet do you have? Any pics?
