Would like to see the evidence to support "on my knowledge that Breiling used Moblot`s bracelet as OEM" and I think that we have already established that "in this advert bracelet looks like Moblot`s one" is not something that the forum community agrees with.

Ok, so what is it if it is not a MOBLOT?

The best probability would be a JB Champion according to several reputable US enthusiasts . I had seen a post of Billshaine about that 2-3 years ago , he told that most common mesh on Navis was JB Champion in US and Moblot in Switzerland . Nothing certain about the Cosmo ad but it is an ad for US market so my theory would be the JB Champion .

putting this in a different post, this thread might become useful in the end ....

the mid/late 1950s SuperOcean bracelet has no manufacturer marking whatsoever, it is a tang buckle mesh strap actually.

The late 1960 mesh does have a manufacture mark, "HC"; Renè, could you check whether your bracelet has the same ? Did not find which company used that mark yet, maybe someone here knows ?

Fred, René, the H.C. in a triangle is for Henry & Cie , Geneva and this bracelet appeared first in the 1969 catalog . Seems to be serial for SuperOcean and optional for Avi, Navi, Cosmo.

Actually Moblot bracelets were used on a few Breitlings in the 1960's. I had this one last year and sold it but it's currently on ebay at the moment. I've seen about three of these Top Time models with the same bracelet and all in gold plate. Since it's in the catalog that's pretty definite proof Moblot was used on Breitlings. Whether it was available on the Navitimer, I don't know, but it seems reasonable since Breitling obviously had a relationship with them.
