I'm all over the moon with the First Omega in Space Speedy. I love how it looks over the Professional, and the 40mm size is perfect for my puny wrist (6.3 inches).
The 19mm band width, however, is a bit concerning, plus I really hate that it doesn't come with a bracelet. That probably is the main factor holding me back.
Is there an official aftermarket Omega bracelet that would fit this Speedy?
Nothing pisses me off more than watches with irregular lug widths. Well that's not true there are thousands of things that get on my nerves everyday but you get the picture. As for the question I don't really know, I just came to express my anger at the 19mm and 21mm lug widths of the world.
Thanks for the premature congratulations haha! I haven't bought it as the leather strap option only is holding me back. I really would love to have it on a bracelet.
The 1125 bracelet looks stunning on it! Thank you!
The 1964/975 or the 1565/976 (same as 1564/975 but with newer screw design on removable links rather than pins) Speedmaster bracelet bands from the Speedmaster racing series is a perfect fit; below are some images from someone which used the 1565/976 band on his FOIS:
I have a mint 1564/975 that was saving for a future FOIS but am happy with my Apollo 11 40th so guess would be willing to sell it. Pm me if interested.
I've guy mine in the 1564/975 combo. Brought it to a watch maker to attach it and resize, didn't have any issues. I really dig the look of the 1564. Omega bracelets ain't cheap unfortunately, and the ones that fit the FOiS seem to be a little tricky to find on the used market.
Forgive my newbie question. I'm in the same position as the OP considering the FOis but want a bracelet.So does one just go to an Omega AD and order one of these bracelet endlink combis or do you have to go to a parts site like Ofrei?

Hi everyone thx for this thread it's really interesting.
I ordered a Speed FOIS a month ago.
It should arrive on my wrist at the end of june.
The jeweler advised me the 19mm speedmaster 60TH Anniversary 1957 bracelet.
I used Photoshop and here is the result.
