This bracelet came as a bonus with a recent navitimer purchase from watchuseek.
Anyone here have any idea what model it may be from?

The 22mm width and the style narrows down the possibilities as to what it will fit. It was probably used on a large case Navitimer or Chrono-matic but I don't recognize the link style as one I've seen before on a Breitling. I have seen a lot of Bretling clasps transplanted to different bracelets over the years. It's a simple matter to just pop the Breitling cover off the clasp and attach it to a generic, or other brand, bracelet. You might get a clue by checking what it says inside the clasp where it unfolds.

Strange one. If it was a swap they swapped out the entire clasp. I don't have a picture anywhere of that bracelet on a Breitling. Maybe someone else has seen it.

Link style is very similar to the aerospace bracelet, although this is clearly not that.

I believe I have seen it before on a big case Superocean Chronomatic from the 70ies

It appears to be an NSA bracelet. The clasp and buckle suggest it might have been fitted to one of the 1970's era chronographs such as the TransOcean, but which one? No idea.
