·That’s the specific reference. What else did you want to know?

·so i will give some backstory to why I am enquiring, i recently purchased some contents from an estate sale.. there was a omega with this caseback, it however had a 268 movement, its been sitting in a drawer for a very very long time, i am trying to determine, if there was some crossover period for the movments in the early days, or the case back was changed etc

·Isn’t a 268 a sub second movement? Not center second. It’s better to show all the photos instead of parceling out info bit by not. Especially when you don’t know what you don’t know.

·correct, i found conflicting information saying there was a cross over period and they could have used it, but wanted to come to the hub for omega and find out for sure

·That makes no sense. Either it is a center second watch or a sub second. Which is it
You have the watch so we don’t know.

·If it's a sub-second watch, that case-back is probably not original. It was likely swapped at some point. Some case-backs were dual use, and you will see two reference numbers (one sub-second and one center second). If it fits the case, I probably wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless there is something extremely special about the dial, the value of the watch is fairly modest and a slightly wrong case-back won't make much of a difference.

··faux legendIt seems like you have a 2791 with a 268 movement, but the caseback is incorrect. You can start searching on eBay and with patience, you should be able to find one.
edit: Based on a quick search, I'm actually not sure if a 2791 came with caliber 268. It's best if you post photos of the watch once you have it in your possession.

·That case back after a check say caliber 284 sweep. Tall crystal or low crystal?
30 mm movements had some interchangeable parts between them.
Would a sub second fit in the case and stem line up with case post? Perhaps wrong back with correct movement or correct back and wrong movement

·How about a wrong case? A sub-second movement should fit in the thicker center seconds case with proper clamps. It is unlikely that a center seconds movement would fit in a slimmer sub-seconds case.
