Seamaster Professional 200m

edott

I have an older (mid 1980s) Seamaster that needs a movement. It was my father’s daily wear, and has all the brushes and bruises to show such. In his last years, in his Alzheimer’s, he “wound” the watch relentlessly, literally burning up the works.

I’ve seen a few nos movements around, a few “replacements” that seem to be new production remakes. They are priced appropriately but I’m wondering …………

My question is, does anyone know if there is a mechanical/automatic movement that is the correct size to fit this case?

TIA

It is currently disassembled

No, it is indeed a quartz watch, a 1441 movement. Nothing wrong with them, they are some of the nicest. As stated, I have seen a few oem’s and replacements.

I would prefer a mechanical/automatic movement is the reason for the question.

Thank you both very much for the information. I will look for a 1111 movement to get measurements off of. I would be using the original dial as I want it still be “Dad’s Daily”

As well it is good to know I can broaden my ability to find a quartz movement now knowing that a 1438-1538 can work.

I have hand scrubbed 40yrs of working guy arm crud off of it, and have found a used bracelet link, other than that I’m leaving it be and plan to wear it daily for the rest of my days

See above, you wont be able to use the original dial. The date window is in the wrong place. This really is an impossible project. You'll need to change most of the watch to go auto. Much easier to find a suitable quartz movement.
