Can I still get a new crystal for my 166.024?

Wlcutter

Of course--any watchmaker with an Omega account can get one.

As @Wlcutter said “any watchmaker with an Omega account”.

It would be worth researching the profile of new service crystals. They may not have the same dome/profile of vintage which is one of the reasons many people try to polish and retain original crystals where possible.

I thought Omega had stopped supplying these parts to any third party watchmakers long time ago...

I did some research here, and it seems that the part number for this crystal is PZ5076. However I don't know it is the modern one or vintage one.

Archer

Yes that's the correct crystal. Note that the crystal with the cyclops is also listed for this reference.

I think the crystal is correct to the watch and I vote for keeping it as is 😀
If I remember well, the reference for the crystal with loupe is PZ5076 L
The genuine crystals are not as domed as the service replacements, so are being called flat top crystals.

cqing

so pz5076 is the genuine part or the service part? I want to change the crystal more for my personal preference, I really don't like the loupe.

Archer

That is the number - there isn't a different number for a service part. The design may change slightly over the years, but the number stays the same.

I will check with a local watchmaker first, he is Omega certified.

Archer

He'll tell you the same thing - that number is what show up on the Omega Extranet, which he will have access to if he's Omega certified.
