Watchco 165.024 - Niaid Crown?

speedyben · Dec 20, 2022

Hi

I have a watchco build 165.024 with the screwdown crown but I think it ruins the symmetry of the case, has anyone successful fitted the Niaid non screw down crown?

I assume I would need to replace the tube and that water resistance would be impacted.

I'm happy to take the hit on water resistance as it's not seen watch yet and I don't plan on it in the future either

Thanks all

The screw-down crown has a different size tube than the Naiad, and is larger. If you want to install a Naiad you would have to install the smaller tube , probably with a bit of solder or similar

Thanks, does anyone happen to know the part numbers for the crown and tube and whether Omega still has stock?

Omega still has stock of these parts. An omega approved service centre should be able to do the work for you.
