FS: Steel mesh JB Champion sliding clasp bands 17.5mm to 22m

JB Champion new old stock solid stainless steel mesh band. New item from the 1960s/70s, made in the U.S.A. Popular band that JB supplied to Breitling for the early Navitimer models and were featured on many other famous watch brands.

End tubes for the spring bars are 22mm wide as shown, but I can professionally customize the ends for you at no extra cost to 17.5mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm or 21mm. The mesh at the ends before the spring bar tubes is 17.5mm wide. Great option to fit an NOS bracelet on an odd size watch.




Has a two-stage sliding clasp; first time you wear it you slide the keeper piece to set the length of the band. Then it has a quick-release clasp on the other side that quickly snaps the band open or closed to take it off or put it on. These adjust in length from 5 1/2 inches to 7 inches long, so they will fit most size wrists. Clasp has a brushed steel finish. Great quality mesh. Signed "JB Champion Stainless Steel" on the back of the clasp. Bracelet weighs 27 grams.


Price is $199.99 including U.S. shipping with tracking.

This rare American-made steel sliding clasp vintage bracelet by Jacoby-Bender or JB is the type people like for Omega Speedmaster 321 Pre Pro and 861 Moon Watch models. JB Champion bracelets are sought after because they were worn on early Omega Speedmaster 321 models by astronauts and NASA officials on pre-Moon Speedmaster models in the 1960s, as well as other Omegas, Bulova Accutron, Bulova Astronaut and many other vintage watches.

I have many other NOS vintage watch bracelets for sale including American-made vintage bracelets by J.B. Champion Forstner Kreisler Kestenmade and Swiss NOS bracelets made by NSA or Novavit.
