·Wondering if any Pre-Bonds do not have Omega printed on the movement.
Does any Seamaster Pre-Bond Not say Omega on the movement?

·I’m like a permanoob so I retain little information but I had my people do some research
Automatic
The automatic came in two variants throughout the years, both ETA 2892 based. The earlier Omega 1111 suffered from inefficient automatic winding which was improved in the Omega 1109.

- Cal 1111 (earlier models) - ETA 2892-2 based movement marked “AUTOMATIC Chronometer” on the dial
- Cal 1109 (later models) - ETA 2892-A2 based movement marked “AUTOMATIC Chronometer” on the dial
- 21 jewel movement with quickset date
- sweep second
- 44 hour power reserve
- hack function
- 28,800 frequency

·It would be easier if the OP would provide a bit more than a single cryptic sentence.

·So it appears it should however perhaps there were some differences in the years it was made for that we need someone more knowledgeable or if you know the year and movement you might be able to look it up. Do you have one without? Do you have a picture of it.

·The members of this forum are so nice — someone comes on with a one line question with scant details, and members start replying with all the info they have, even thought they know the original poster is unlikely to even respond.
😀
As far as I know, Omega is somewhere on all the movements (auto and quartz). I suspect a lot of the quartz models out there have had the movement replaced with the equivalent ETA movement.

··Oooo subtitles!Don't assume Janice is Smart, she is just loquacious 😉
AFAIK, every Pre Bond left the factory with an Onega marked movement. If you have one without, it was swapped in.

·Thanks to all for the quick responses and sorry for my sparse question. From the answers so far, it appears we have a few diametrically opposed opinions. Some say for sure Omega shipped non marked movements and some say Omega only shipped marked movements. Is there a definitive expert answer?
