Just curious though, do all the cal.1620 require 2 x 1.55V (or are they 1.35V?) battery cells and how long do they typically last?
@DotOverNine
Sorry, no idea where you can find a spare cal 1620. Set some saved searches on eBay, look for a thrashed cheap donor watch 馃槈
Ref:186.0010, Case No.386.0010, Produced around 1979
- Cal.1620 quartz movement
- Brown dial with central digital display, day indication on underneath digital aperture, Speedmaster Professional Quartz under the day indications
- 3Xmm Square shaped case with clipped back. Start/stop, split/light and lap/reset buttons at 2, 3 and 4, date-sec button at 10 and recessed set/select button at 8
- Leather (?) bracelet with signed gold-plated buckle
- Case, dial and movement signed
Looks like this one is really very scarce - I could have found a very limited information and photographs on the web so far.
Does anybody here own one ? Any infos are more then welcome.
Oops I did it again 馃槦 Found another Alaska4 cal1621 prototype made for NASA Shuttle Pilots back in 1979 馃榿
if you never heard of it, head to www.omegalcdspeedmaster.com 馃槈
How do you do it?
These are as rare as hen's teeth. Is this the third or fourth one to pass through your hands?
kov, That's a great watch to have! Did you have to send your watch to head office to get this?
