·Yeah you`re right but did you really think back there in the middle of the seventies there where something like high or low drain?
You`re in need of a high drain if you need a higher ammount of current immiadetly when you have some fancy options like alert.
So imho you`re going well with the 301 also even when you think of the higher voltage of 0,2V.
At last it should be anytime a silveroxid from a known brand and a trustable source.
So that should be enough off topic let`s get back to the question of Mrpicmath36.

·I find it hilarious you choose to argue with an electronics technician and a watchmaker who services Omega.
You're an electrical engineer, right?

Omega uses Renata batteries, and Renata is owned by Swatch along with Omega. Renata also makes the 301, so clearly Omega could have chosen that if they thought it was appropriate, but they didn’t. They chose the 386.
If you have a watch that has the 1310 in it, and you want to use a 301, go right ahead. We like to have accurate information posted on this forum, as it acts as a resource for people to look up details just like this one. I provided the information directly from Omega. Why you are choosing to argue this is beyond me, but when I see information posted that doesn’t align with what Omega states, I will point it out.
Cheers, Al

My first training was electronics technician to then I got evening school for IT technician then I study for electrician engineer while working all the time but now I`m more in management.
But you guys hide your skills from me too!
In the past I`m more active in German watchforum so as a little peace offer one of the Omega I own:
https://uhrforum.de/threads/omega-seamaster-1345-problem-mit-bandanstoss.424419/
This watch I was accidentaly happy to buy was totally wrecked and it take me some years to do all the restauration with help of some skilled friends o mine of course.
Aktually it looks like new I have to make some pictures from nowadays.
I love Omega (mostly Vintage) watches very much and happy to own one or two 😉

Whenever possible I use Renata batteries and their gold line but not any Renata batterie is available as gold line.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerYou`re totally right and I`m happy to know the factory `cause for me it`s around the corner like Biehl 😉.

Personally, I avoid them like the plague, but to each his own.
As for engineers, you'll find there are many here, myself included. At least two of the watchmakers here are former engineers...

And then customers had bad experience with Renata batteries.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerSadly I heard that several times but my personel theory is that there are many counterfeits on sale and I believe that sellers often don`t know for the fact.
And then customers had bad experience with Renata batteries.
Interesting. The people I know who have had poor experiences were watchmakers buying right from Renata's authorized distributor, so no counterfeits involved. They are known to be leakers...

·Well, the mouvement was not repairable according to the watchmaker. I sold the watch to buy a new one with the same reference in better condition.
