··Melbourne Australia@SkunkPrince, I think he's referring to this.
It's possible the rotor and stamped "chronometer" bridge was changed out to resolve rotor wear issues, as evidenced by the circular marks in the caseback.
Only an extract from Omega archives will provide an answer.

·I think the entire autowinding mechanism was replaced from a non-chronometer movement, like a cal. 562, 565, etc.

··ΩF InvestiGatorHow do you think about cal 561 with serial number 19xxx in ref 168.004!!!

There is really no way to know unless you purchase an extract of the archives from Omega. It will cost a good portion of the watch’s value, and not give you a lot more information than what you have received here for free.

·Since the model started in 1962 and the serial number dates it from around the same time, that part could be original.
