Extremely rare curved ends 1960s JB Champion bracelet -- the type of sliding clasp bands originally worn on Moon Watch Speedmaster models and made famous by the NASA astronauts wearing JB Champion bands on their watches. We\'ve already sold 17 here to Omega collectors, so don\'t miss getting one as this LAST ONE will be sold soon! This one is New Old Stock in its box, never used! Absolutely pristine with a stunning high polish. Rare American-made steel sliding clasp vintage bracelet by Jacoby-Bender or JB -- the type collectors seek for vintage chronograph model watches. The curved spring-loaded ends are 19mm - the perfect size for the earlier no-crown guard early chronograph models. It also looks good on the 20mm lugs watch shown in these pics (sale is for the bracelet only, watch is not included). The design is so classic it will suit many different watches and you can move it from watch to watch in your collection because the spring ends close down to as narrow as 16mm to fit a large range of lug sizes including 17mm 17.5mm 18mm sizes. Lined with fine inner mesh, this bracelet is incredibly well-contructed and very comfortable to wear. If you have a big wrist, this will open up to as much as 8 1/2 inches, but it adjusts down to be open as little as 5 1/4 inches for smaller wrists. Signed JB Champion Stainless Steel Made on the back of the clasp and has the JB initials on the side of the clasp. JB Champion bracelets are soughtafter because they were wor by astronauts and NASA officials on vintage chronograph watch models in the 1960s as shown in many early NASA photos.
