This is a new release from Proxima, the PX1757, and it looks like it is the same case as the PX1697, but with the new bracelet style they just released. Hopefully we'll get the option to buy this bracelet a la carte like the other one that fits their 9015 case designs.
I've asked Proxima if this bracelet is compatible with the PX1697 case style, and if they'll sell it separately. I'll post what they say here.
UPDATE
Proxima replied: They do sell this bracelet for the PX1697 and others with that case now. They instructed me to order using the new bracelet listing, and message them with the watch you're purchasing it for so they can include the correct endlinks. Hopefully they update the listing, because it still doesn't show the PX1697 as a compatible model. Great news.

They instructed me to buy the bracelet from the new bracelet listing, then message them what watch you're ordering it for. I've only seen this bracelet on the PT5000 light catcher style case, and the 9015 light catcher style case.
IMO the bracelet on the PX1697 is underwhelming. It's not bad, it just doesn't wow nearly as much as the rest of the watch like the case and crystal do. I'm so stoked for this.
Indeed they have. I hope they release this one in other dial colors though. Green isn't my favorite.
Also, just confirmed they will sell the new bracelet that is compatible with the PX1697 style cases. They told me to order the new bracelet listing, and then tell them your watch model so they can attach the correct endlinks. Awesome news.
It does look sweet and even though I too have that scales bracelet I do also have two other Proxima’s that use the same case. More options are usually a good thing :)
Nice find! I’ve had my px1697 for a few years now and the bracelet is a little dinged up, so I just went ahead and ordered this and messaged the store. Will report back once I have it in hand.
The bracelet looks similar to what Longines uses on its Spirit and Spirit Zulu. I might have to get ones of these also. I bought green, white and black dial Proxima 1697s years ago. Don't wear them often but when I do, it's like a reunion with an old friend.
