    Very nice! And very similar in style to my slightly later (1961) cal. 561 (14393), which I am serendipitously wearing at the moment...

    Nice looking 504, I like the creamy look of the dial with this model.

    Sorry guys its not a 504.:oops:

    I managed to remove the back and found a 561 ( Reference 14393 ) is the crown correct for this 561 ?

    Well, the 561 did go inside the 14.393 - but the dial is off a caliber 504, otherwise CALENDAR wouldn't be on it. Wait for more opinions though.

    Dial and crown are ok - see Adam's example pictured above.

    The key is the "Automatic Chronometer" language on the dial. That's only found on the very early cal. 55X/56X references, not on the cal. 504.

    One of the very few rules I can find for vintage Omega (we miss you, Hoi! :))

    Case and dial condition reduce value considerably - perhaps by 50% compared to the watches pictured above.
