Hello everyone,

Hoping to get some help to find a source in europe for this crystal or the part number?

My watchmaker likes to add hefty profit on parts.. and want to look into it myself, example of the model included as per photo.

Thank you all.

How much is your watchmaker charging. Crystals have gone up considerably over the last few years so they may not be adding as much as you think and you could be searching for a long time.

My Speedmaster crystal was £75 at service a few months ago.
An Omega certified watchmaker on the forum didn’t confirm the actual price from Omega but confirmed they haven’t been $20 for a long time.

Note that this is not an expensive one by Omega standards, mainly because it's a mineral crystal. There's nothing special about this crystal - it's a flat crystal 2 mm thick and 31 mm in diameter. If your or your watchmaker can find a mineral glass or sapphire of the same dimensions, it should work fine.
