Has anyone ever seen this as a variation of the 321 movement like this one?

This one looks to be missing some components but appears to have a simple single piece as a replacement doing the same function.

Perhaps a service update at one point?

Heres the same movement, but different pieces

Yours has a metal base with a thin spring and end piece

This one a bit more complex, but doing the same thing

Others with variations in Omega and Lemania

I think what I may actually be dealing with is perhaps the 27 Chro C12 T1 PC AM, that has been fitted with a few parts to have a 321 appearance. Looking at this page the upgrade to the the minute recorder jumper, (https://omegaforums.net/threads/321-vs-27-chro-c12.117070/) may explain the missing parts.

Yes, that is what you have based on the photos. So it's a franken movement basically.

The minute recorder jumper change happened for Lemania in 1951.
They also changed their designation from CH27 to 23/25xx.

From the fournitures catalog:


The updated parts are shown in the 1951 addendum.

I assume that the change happened to the Omega versions made by Lemania about the same time.

Cheers!
