Question about the Omega caliber 751

Hi,

I recently purchased a vintage Omega Constellation (pictured). As you can see, the watch is missing its crown and winding stem, so I will need to find replacement parts. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows whether the winding stem used on the caliber 751 movement is unique, or whether any other Omega movements use the same winding stem, as this would obviously make it easier to find a replacement.

Best regards,
John

Have you looked at ottofrei?
I have, and they actually have the parts in stock, but I was a little put off by the delivery costs. The cost of shipping alone seems to be £30+, so I'll probably only use them if I can't find the parts elsewhere.

Well, 750 and 752 maybe?
Thanks, I'm still quite new to vintage Omegas, so I wasn't aware of those models. The Ofrei website lists all three of them as using the same winding stem, so it appears you're correct. Thanks for the help 😀

I'm sure we used to be able to see which country everyone was from but I don't seem to be able to find it. Sounds like you're in UK, in which case it's Cousins:


The 751 is, I believe, a 56x but with day date so, it uses the 563 stem. If you go to Cousins download area on a desktop (not mobile) you can download the parts list for each calibre. Anyway, this is what they show.

Cheers, Chris

If you enter your case number, in the case parts area, you can also get the crown.

Just verifying that it indeed does use the 563 stem.
