Helllo any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Just had it serviced and my watch maker gave me the following info
Omega 560
Case 14910SC-62
movement S/N 19,446,###

 

What do you want to know?

 

Welcome, but something doesnt add up here

With a date, it should be cal 561 - is 560 actually stamped on the movement?

From the photo, it seems to me to read 18 million, so thats 1962, which ties in nicely with the 62 stamped inside the case back

The case itself reminds me of a constellation case, but could have been used for seamasters as well

The photo of the movement is poor, do you have more?, and specifically a photo of the stamped writing obscured by the rotor - it looks to me that that is a Chronometer part, and should not be on this watch, but i could be wrong here

Cheers, paul

 

Has anyone seen this model before with set up with the 560 movement ? I am novice to Omega watches and Im woundering if this is a rare model. The case back does not have a seamonster logo .

 

Second hand is way short too, as far as the movement, the 560 might be ok for that reference (even though the ODB says it should have a 562)

 

The 560 cal might be because this watch was a US market (17jewels) as there were substantial customs duties on watches over 17 jewels to the US. But I could be wrong.

 

The pictures are the only 2 that my watch maker sent me while I had in in for service, while in he performed the following
Overhaul, high-grade Swiss automatic
Calendar function servicing
Replace spoiled auto-reverser wheel
Replace stem (previously cut too short to work properly)
Replace broken mainspring
Hairspring repairs
Also he iformed me of the number of the case and s/n off the movement

From what I have read so far is that the 560's are rare so I am in search of all I can find out about this watch

Thanks All :O)

 

Thanks Thats what I was reading that this watch was made for the U.S. market also

 

Here are a couple pictures of the case and also the paperwork that I got when I puchased this watch

 

I am pretty sure that this watch is legit - info provided on the papers back it up...

the second hand is wrong (too short), but this is an easy fix

 

Looks like a nice linen dial as well!

 

You may http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2009/07/unearthed-more-omega-calibre-560.htmly have a variant not listed in Desmond's Blog. Omega never recorded any with this case number, hopefully Desmond will Chime in on this one!!

 

Some collectors (including me) don't like a Seamaster without a Seamonster on back.

Older models don't count.

 

Thanks

 

Yes that would be great if he did ,...... I have read several of his articles and found them very helpful with info

Is it wise to keep this watch on a winder?
