I'm currently looking at the below Seamaster Quartz, and I'm wondering whether or not it's genuine. Of concern is that the "Swiss Made" seems slightly off centre.

Any help you're able to provide is greatly appreciated.

All correct. The word group -SWISS MADE- is actually perfectly centred.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

I see now re: the centering. I was looking at the space between the words, rather than the alignment of the whole statement.

If it isn't working perfectly and the time sets easily from the push button walk away. Those push button early quartz movement are not cheap or easy to fix and Omega themselves AFAIK are no longer interested in helping.

Appreciate the advice. If I understand correctly, these movements are proprietary, and there is no drop in ETA replacement?

Exactly, they are in house, well mostly. The only thing that might be suitable as a donor is a similar Tissot movement, they used it too I think. At the time (circa 1980) Tissot and Omega had Co ownership, SSIH, this is pre Swatch, ETA was a still separate company.
