The number 174 refers to the Lemania
case reference. All of the SSHI (Tissot/Omega/+) chronographs was made by Lemania (as in cased and delivered complete). For some reason there are Tissot and Omega variants in circulation using the Lemania case ref.
Normally Omega and Tissot would have their own ref numbers stamped. I have also seen variants with double stamped references (Omega/Lemania).
Please note that Lemania used case reference numbers, and not model references like Omega. Due to this one can find a large number of variants (dial/hands/movement) with the same case ref.
Cheers!
