Bracelet
Omega bracelet 1039
ProbableFlat-link steel bracelet fitted to Speedmaster references of the late 1960s and 1970s. Omega bracelets of the period were supplied by Gay Frères, whose own mark appears on the underside of the clasp on many examples — a supplier attribution the catalog records rather than absorbing into the brand.

Open questions
Gay Frères attribution on Omega bracelets
Which Omega bracelet references were supplied by Gay Frères, and over what period does the supplier mark appear?
Best current answer
Gay Frères supplied bracelets to Omega during the relevant period and its mark appears on the clasp underside of many examples. The precise reference-by-reference and year-by-year mapping is not established, so the component record carries the attribution as period-dependent rather than as fact.
Conflicting claims
Collector sources agree on the supplier relationship but not on which references and years carry the mark. No Omega parts documentation covering supplier attribution has been located.
