Hello from Australia.
I have an Omega watch which was owned by my grandfather who was a watchmaker.
It is no longer working and requires a working replacement movement.
Unfortunately, the movement is a 1377 quartz which seems impossible to acquire.
Omega no longer service that movement.
Does anyone have a working entire movement they want to sell or have a lead as to where to find it?
My understanding is there is another movement (ETA 959 001) that will also fit in the watch.
Can anyone pls confirm this?
Any other advice on how to get this watch up & running again greatly appreciated.

The ETA 959.001 is the same movement (less the Omega branding and decoration), but I'm not sure it's any easier to source.

In theory, if you could find a quartz movement the same size or smaller, with the same hand sizes, and the same stem height, with a stem threading that matched the existing crown, you could 3D-print a movement holder to mate it with the case. That's a lot of "if"s, though.

Anyone know where I can get a sealed in packet/unused ETA 959.001 or Omega 1377 working movement?
