Z199 Bracelet (Seiko 6309)
Uncle's notes
Without question the Z199 solid link bracelet was the best bracelet Seiko ever produced. It originally came on their 7548 Quartz diver, and if you can find one today, buy it! They often sell in excess of $300. I decided to make my own version, holding to the specs as closely as possible.
Standard Z199
- It tapers from 22mm to 16mm and has 7 removable links (screws like the original). It is a solid link bracelet with standard (hollow) end-links and vintage pressure clasp. The bracelet is the same for both SKX007 and 6309, so if you want you can order an additional set of end-links for the pair your bracelet didn't come with. You can find that under Accessories.
Super Z199
- This is an upgrade of the Standard z199 and comes with solid end-links as well as a milled clasp that was made to keep the vintage look and style of the pressure clasp. But don't be fooled, this one is more heavy and durable much like most of the modern clasps you find today.
The solid end links that come with the SRP77x Super Z199 do not work with the vintage 6309/6306 diver. The hollow end-links will still work on this bracelet with the vintage 6309/6306, which can be purchased here.
The tools needed to maintain this bracelet are the 1.4mm Screwdriver and Spring Bar Tool
What's included
One bracelet, one pair of end-links, one pair of 2.5mm spring bars.
