·I've got one too, 53.7 movement, very low serial 18'XXX... Yours is much younger, after 1962.
Don't know much about it either. Very Nice piece anyway.

Thanks! Yes, yours is the model that comes closer to mine, and I’ve seen a few while researching. But not finding mine in the extensive collection posted here, or nowhere else in fact, really makes me wonder if I have something quite rare. There’s a handwritten number in the leather case if that could help identify it.

·@Flavio
I believe you have a delightful example. Congrats. You are very lucky to own such nice precision timepiece.
Please excuse me as I maybe mistaken, according to what i can read from one photo only:
24'''
Cal 1130
a Split-second Chronograph measuring to an 1/10s
ref 713
@uwsearch
You have a ridiculous set of stop and pocket watches, but in this case of top trumps you are second, Sadly I loose as I have nothing close to these mega pieces - you have to give the card to Flavio or me 😀
Please excuse me as Im often mistaken, according to what i can see this is my humble comparison.
Missing pusher at 11
Missing 2nd "outer track"
Only one central second hand for chrono function
thus ==>
24'''
Cal 1000
a Chronograph measuring to an 1/5s possibly
ref 701
Both were available in 65 but until i can get home and actually dig out the fournitures to get introduction dates this is the best i can do.
Please i am a noob and a fan 1st so please if there is fitting description I am happy to learn. Please get a quality watchmaker to better make accurate description.
What would the Omega equivalent models/ref be?
Keep up the good work Uwsearch
All the best

Wow, this is great information, and really appreciate your compliments. It means a lot to me as it belonged to my father who used to be a race time keeper in his spare time. I’m going to add some more pictures, which might help narrow down the search.

·Hi! I have an Omega MG 6413 Chronograph from a few years. It's working perfectly, although it's not so perfect in aesthetics.
Also have a red stand.
Honestly, I'm not a collector of this kind of clocks
and I don't even remember how I got it.
It has a counter from 010 to 100... and I don't know which sports or area it was used in.
Any opinion about this piece and its value?
Thanks all

·Firstly a very big thank you for the creation of the reference tables, I know how much work goes into something like this having assisted in creating a similar resource for Heuer watches. I have a specific question relating to an MG1135 (or at least what I think is an MG11350) I have. The timer has 3 numbers on the Lemania 1210 movement as well as another number on the case back and cuvette. The timer would seem to be an early version, with the enamel dial utilising traditional dial feet, and date from 1939 according to the Omega serial numbers which are 9386150 on the movement and 9556410 on the cuvette and caseback. This would seem to roughly tally with the Lemania serial number 6699 on the movement (I get the impression that early Lemania s/n are a little random in application which could perhaps be connected with the great depression and the rather sudden ramping up of production on the eve of WW2, but that's perhaps a discussion for another post). My actual question concerns a 3rd number found under the balance wheel on the movement which reads 53.7T1CR 1/10. I've not seen a number of this sort on any other Lemania equipped timer. Does anyone know what it references? I've included some photos taken very quickly with an old iPhone the quality for which I apologise.

·It's a "true" Omega finished movement with omega serial number (not lemania), you can ask for an extract of the archives.

·Thank you for your reply, rather foolishly I hadn't thought of that, obvious now you mention it. The downside would be that the extract cost would be more than the price I paid for the timer. Also I'm not sure it would address the question of the engraving under the balance '53.7T1CR 1/10'. Given the high jewel count, much higher than any other 1210 I've seen, I wondered if it was reference to a level of accuracy.

·53.7T1CR 1/10 is the movement type 53.7 mm chrono to 1/10 of a second

·Thank you yet again for that, so Omega put the specification onto some of their stopwatch movements along with an Omega S/N, provided it was a significant enough piece. Hence on more everyday timers we see only a Lemania S/N and an Omega/Lemania movement reference. Presumably because there was an additional cost to applying this type of information to the movement we don't see it on 18''' or even the 19N20 based movements. Indeed, with military equipment we sometimes see no reference or S/N at all on case or movement. Does that seem a fair assessment?
