Spring bar recommendations for Omega Mesh

Post by ssultan » Tue Mar 11, 2025 6:53 am

Guys - have the OEM Omega mesh in 22mm for my 2208.50 but it did not come with spring bars. The current bracelet is attached with fat omega bars that just won't work with the mesh. Anybody know of a good source of OEM spring bars that work or equivalent recommendations?

Is it the new Omega mesh that has a deployant style clasp? The one similar to the newest Omega rubber straps where the tail is tucked inside the strap?

Do you have a photo of the clasp?

Yeah Hoppy. It’s new with the latest folding clasp - 020STZ015718.

This style requires a 1.5mm diameter maximum.

Omega boutique can order the bars for you, but I’ve also found success using some from Ofrei. I am pretty picky, as many bars don’t have very strong springs.

Here is the product page, with two screenshots of the 20mm and 22mm bars respectively.

Listen to Hoppy. The Ofrei Swiss made are the ones to get. I’ve been using them on my Planet Ocean for years.
