Mesh bracelets or Milanese mesh bracelets gained popularity in the beginning of the 20th century. The name of the mesh bracelet comes from the technique used to create it. Milanese mesh originated in the Italian city of Milan and can be traced to the 13th century. At the time the mesh was used to make chain-mail. Over time, watchmakers adopted the mesh as bracelets for their watches as its highly flexible and durable. The style became even more popular in the 1970s thanks to Omega. These days men’s mesh bracelet watches are amongst the most popular styles. Not only are these watches comfortable but they add a certain classic tone to the design of the watch.
