Bracelet Model Number — What This Mark Means
A unique identifier stamped on the bracelet that specifies the exact bracelet model. This number is essential for ordering correct replacement bracelets or links.
What This Usually Means
The bracelet model number identifies the specific bracelet design, material, and finish. It's separate from the watch's case reference number and the clasp code. This number determines link shape, finish type, and which watch models the bracelet is designed to fit.
Where to Find It
Commonly stamped on the underside of one of the links near the clasp, or on the inside of the clasp itself. Some brands also stamp it on the end links. You may need to flip the bracelet over or open the clasp to find it.

Common Variations
Formats are brand-specific. Some use numeric codes, others combine letters and numbers. The same bracelet may come in multiple finishes (polished, brushed, two-tone) with different model numbers for each variant.
Common Misconceptions
The bracelet model number is often confused with the watch model or clasp code. A bracelet number identifies only the bracelet. Also, the same bracelet model can sometimes fit multiple watch references with different end links.
What to Do Next
Use this number to order replacement links, complete bracelets, or verify originality. When buying a pre-owned watch, check that the bracelet model number corresponds to what was originally supplied for that watch reference.
