Hi All,

I’m searching for a replacement minute hand for a 168.005 with cal 564. Any suggestions on where the best place to look would be? I have taken a look at EBay, but not sure if the descriptions are matching what I am actually in search of.

Thank you

Should mention this is a stainless model with black indices

We can’t think without pictures. There are different lengths and with and without tritium. All have different part numbers.

Not sure if this is the correct length for this model. I have a 1961 561 all original and the minute hand is shorter. This is definitely a redialed 564 from 1966 that I got for a steal. Trying to understand if this is the correct minute hand or not.

You have the minute and hour hands from a dome dial watch .( which yours was originally)
The hour hand also looks like it was once lumed. ( now missing)
The seconds hand looks like a longer version that has been clipped shorter, possibly also from a dome dial.

Ideally what you need is a full set of hands for a pie pan dial
If you look on a site like Cousins you should be able to get the correct sizes and possibly reference ( they won’t be available anymore)
Alternatively contact an Omega certified watchmaker who could order and fit them for you.
