Your question is a bit confusing. Are you asking what caliber should be in a specific Seamaster or Constellation reference?
Can you provide the reference # for each, or a picture?

I suspect that vintage Seamasters and Constellations each used dozens of different movements. As for how many movements they didn't use, the possibilities are almost endless. You will need to be more specific.

Ah sorry, I’ve heard that a cal 561 was not used in a Seamaster and a 562 was not used in a Constellation...? Or would it be easier for me to find out what Calibre were used (rather than not used)

Hope that makes sense?

I see what you mean too, not sure how the forum works and I don’t wanna annoy you guys (too much) !! Would there be a list of cals I can locate? That’ll probs save time.

Thanks for reaching out guys appreciate it

You're probably already aware of this, but much of the information you need may be in the OVD. For example, you can filter by "collection", including Seamaster or Constellation. Unfortunately, it's not 100% comprehensive

There are tons of models of Seamaster and Constellation in the general production date range that most would qualify as "vintage" in age.
Can you be more specific about what catalog or reference number you're looking to get more information about?

It would be easier for us to help you if you provide a specific type of Seamaster (for example ref# 155.026) or specific type of Connie (for example, ref # 168.004) that you're interested in, and then we can assist with narrowing the calibers that were fitted in that model of Omega.

Somehow I was just hit with Deja Vu. Maybe it's just me 😁

Hi guys, I’m back... found a Seamaster Deville that’s a case number 165.020 and the liner is 562. Would anyone know if this is correct? Thanks again 😀

Nope, the 165 part of the reference indicates no-date. A 562 would be acceptable for a 166.020
