    I recently bought a vintage chronograph made by the Oriental Watch Co. In fact, it hasn't arrived yet from the eBay seller. The price was excellent and I took a chance on it because I seem to recall hearing that Oriental was connected to Omega in some way, perhaps as a distributor or subsidiary company. However, I can find absolutely nothing online about the mid-20th century incarnation of the Oriental Watch Co. Does anyone have any info? Thanks...

    This caliber is a Landeron - nothing to do with Omega. I cannot see what kind of relation there could have been.
