I bought it new with the 1438 cal. ETA 255.461 movement in 1993. I found out from an old Omega watchmaker, about why the 1438 cal. movement was supposed to have had the 1441 cal. timing module. I changed out the 1438 cal. timing module (6) screws with an "NOS" 1441 cal. timing module that I had bought new from a Swiss watchmaker. Simple 1/2 hour operation, and the 1438 cal. base indeed had the machined cut out for the 2nd oscillator that the 1441 module had.
According to the old Omega watchmaker, a few actually left the factory as I have my watch now. It was the way it was intended to be, and it is still all Omega.
There will always be "Auto" heads that will only buy automatic watches. The debate of automatics vs. quartz rages on. I have had plenty of Rolex automatics with the last being a S&18K Rolex Submariner. Best accuracy was about 5 seconds per day on a good day. The 4-5 year Rolex service was terrible, and the cost was extravagant.
In 24 years I have spent less on maintaining my Omega, than with one Rolex servicing cost.
Neither Rolex or Omega advertised or promoted their Quartz watches properly. They really didn't want to be associated with the negative Quartz connotation.
When Seiko first came out with the cheap quartz watches, they have always had a cheap handle put on them. In the case of my Omega Seamaster "SQ" (6) jeweled watch movement that I have, it is more accurate, more durable, has a higher Gauss rating, than the Omega Automatic Seamaster, and the Quartz model actually cost less when both were new.
I am a retired sales engineer and know marketing. They never promoted their Quartz watches accept being in the James Bond movie "Golden Eye." Omega decided to sell the "sizzle" not the steak in the case of their automatics. Plus, they sold the automatics which were inferior watches for more money and profit. They were competing with Rolex automatics.
Omega and Rolex built their brands on intricate multi jeweled and complex automatic movements. That's why they also charge a lot of money on 4-5 year servicing. Omega won't sell most of their parts to individual watchmakersanymore, so as to force their customers to send their watches back to an Omega service center. Again, a marketing decision. Most of their sales are now done through Omega Boutiques and not in an up-scale jewelry store.
I replace my own batteries about every 3 years for $3.00 and a "WR" test at my local watch maker for $20. I have had the seals and "O" rings changed out twice in 24 years, for about $200 at a local watchmaker. Rolex servicing is about $500-$600 if you want to keep up the 300m "WR" rating and keep it running properly. Same goes for Omega serving on their automatics.
