    Asking price is $280. It is stainless so Ref.#198.0030 and the database matches the watch shown. Stated as running and all original. Sorry but these are the best pics available at this time.

    Running and keeping time are two different things. These often have timing issues with modern batteries.

    Price seems reasonable based on the photos, IF its keeping time.

    Why timing issues with modern batteries .The battery should be a 344 . As good today as they where in the 70:s .If not better . That is a nice price for a nice watch @Pvt-Public .

    No, actually like the Accutron 214 these originally used a 1.35 volt cell and often run fast on the modern 1.55v.

    Didn't now that . That was new to me . But can't the movement be adjusted to keep the time perfect ?

    Nope, Omega cal 1250 (ETA 9162) is designed to work with a modern silver oxide cell. According to the service manual, the adjustment should be checked from 1.55v to 1.05v. So no issues with modern batteries, unlike the Accutron 214 which doesn't like more than 1.35v (mercury batteries).
