    What movement powers these? Almost looks like a Speedmaster Mark 3 layout without the 24h subdial

    The versions I've worked on had the 1341. This one looks like the same layout.

    Don't out the Tissots - there are a couple of us who have snagged some real bargain pieces compared to their Omega cousins.

    Here's a Tissot I've serviced - running seconds at 9:

    I stand corrected.
    Apparently, the 24hour subdial @ 9 was Omega only.

    Kind regards,
