mid'70's 21Jewel 72B type and bracelet

[karlusmagnus]

I picked this up a good few years ago, and looks like the one posted by Prodigy79 a few months ago ... similar type movement and dial, but this has day as well as date (unlike just date on other).
The zodiac bracelet is marked "Bear Hong Kong".
Is the bracelet legit for such a watch, or an aftermarket addition?
It is a bit short and looks to me like 4 links on one side vs 5 links on the other. Any idea what the name of this bracelet is, as it would help me find another link ... the missing link so to speak 
Thanks

There were times in the later 70's that they switched from JB Champion to Hong Kong bands. As for links, about all you can do is posy a WTB here in the For Sale forum and watch eBay for them. Good luck!

Thx Butch, as always. Good to know, and learned something new.

Will do (WTB post)

Thanks

To my knowledge, the original bracelets for Zodiac were produced by only 5 companies. They were :
- JB Champion (popular in the US)
- NSA Novavit (Swiss brand popular in Europe, legend producing for companies like Certina, Rado, Favre - Leuba. I have 4 Zodiac watches on this bracelet)
- Chatelain (Swiss brand popular in Europe, I have 10 Zodiac watches on this bracelet, they also produced for Omega, Zenith, Favre - Leuba)
- Kreisler Stelux (Hong Kong brand, founded in 1963 popular in Asia, produced for Zodiac)
- Drema Kevin (Hong Kong brand, I know nothing about it,
  but I have the original Astrographic on this bracelet, not just the clasp.
I have never seen the design from your photo. Beware of no-name bracelet type scams with original clasp.
