The flat link watch bracelet was one of the most beautifully designed (and comfortable) ever offered by Omega. Its links were thin, so as to not overpower the watch with which it was paired. It was stretchy, so it remained comfortable throughout the day despite temperature fluctuations. It was finished beautifully, with polished outer and brushed inner links (a finish that continued onto the clasp itself). And it had loads of rattily vintage charm. Forstner has made its own version of the JB Champion flat link bracelet, retaining the beauty of the original while improving fit, convenience, and wearability.
