Last year I've started another chapter of my Omega collection with the electromechanical table clocks from the 1960s.

According to A Journey Through Time book, these clocks were produced from 1963 to the late sixties, powered by the mechanical calibre 095 which is periodically wound by an electrical motor powered by a 9V battery (which lasts for about 1 year).



All the variations have the same mechanical specs and only differ in colors and materials.
I managed to find several variations but not all of them.

I will be consolidating in this first post all the different variations and models as we discuss.

- ref. 5554 : Black metal body, silver dial with black accents, AML, black/red hands
- ref. 5555 : Black metal body, matte black dial with white accents, AML, black/white/red hands
- ref. 5556 : Gold metal body, champagne dial with gold accents, AML, gold hands
- ref. 5562 : Black metal body, black linen dial with gold accents, AML, gold hands
- ref. 5563 : Black metal body, matte black dial with white concentric circles and accents, AML, black/white/red hands
- ref. 5565 : Black metal body, champagne dial with gold accents, AML, gold hands
- ref. 5570 : Marbled green metal body, marbled green / linen gold dial, AML, gold hands
- ref. 5571 : Marbled burgundy metal body, marbled burgundy / linen gold dial, AML, gold hands
- ref. 5572 : Marbled blue metal body, marbled blue / linen gold dial, AML, black/white hands

Who else has any of those Rocket Line pendulette clocks? Not looking for random pics from the web but your own shots of your clocks.

Show us your photos

 

Here we have one of my favorites, the model ref. 5571 :



The elegant marbled metal body with its rocket stage shape seems to defy gravity, focusing on the linen golden and burgundy date dial.



Note also the applied logo, as we have on wrist watches of the same period.

BTW for those who are interested into those electromechanical table clocks,



a good opportunity to unearth and continue this thread from @tdn-dk too : https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-trunkcated-line.63355/#post-792854

 

I have the same model as @tdn-dk has.

It was quite disconcerting to hear the winding the first time I connected the battery.
I don't have any of the rocket line yet, only the Tissot replica with a very simple electrical movement


Nice thing withe these "pendulettes" is that they're still quite affordable. Unless of course @kov corners the market

Do you happen to know where I could find some technical information?

 

Why did you mentioned "replica" ?

I now need a steering wheel Tissot clock, bravo !

 

Great stuff, but I'm waiting for the limited edition.

 

My second favorite is the ref. 5562



It has a black metal body and a black linen dial with gold accents.



Superb and very elegant variation

Since the movements are mechanical and have serial numbers, does anybody know if an extract from the archives is possible for the table clocks?

 

Good question !
As a side note mine (5556 - sorry no pics handy) had a problem so I took it to my trusty watchmaker who's been around the block and he quickly recognized the movement as it was used for quite a few clocks in the 60s. I must have written about it somewhere but I seem to remember a reference to a "squirrel" maybe, will have to try to find my notes. So Omega "bought" that design and turned it into Cal 095.

 

Let me help you here we go with some pics of my 5556 :



It has a gold metal body and a champagne dial with gold accents.

These are awesome

 

Another variation and another style, here is my 5555 :



It has a black metal body and a matte black dial with white accents.



This variation looks less classy than the others with its bi-colored hands and that red running seconds hand. Looks great nevertheless, imho.

Your pictures are great. Here some more watches and variations of the Rocket. I just love them

 

Or the classic gold one

 

So we are adding:
5570 Green marble one
5563 black with black dial and white circles

 

And here the other black one. Interesting the outer side of the dial has a step and angle

 

These clocks are awesome, thanks for posting! They look like they should be on the dash of a mid 20th century sports car. Now there’s something else that I’m going to have to keep an eye out for

 

Thanks for sharing @igloe great collection and additions to the thread !

--> First reference post updated accordingly. Awesome !
