    I have an Omega De Ville which needs a replacement battery. The battery is a Retina 751 but I can't find an obvious replacement.

    The caliber is 1458, but also appears to be marked as an ETA 281.001.

    Is there an alternative battery I can use?

    Thanks

    Al, thanks for the link, this confirms the situation.

    Do you happen to know if there is an alternative movement I can use? The watch in the link has is a different caliber. My initial research shows that an ETA E03.001 may fit, but I'm not sure if dial foot modifications will be needed. Ideally I'd like a straight swap for obvious reasons.

    The replacement movement for the 1458 is the same as noted in that thread.
