"The Famous 100,000 Consecutive Omega 561 Chronometers" ??

Revo · Jul 17, 2021

A recent post on the "~ OMEGA Only ~ | Vintage Omega Watches" facebook group led me to this:

https://ialreadyhaveawatch.com/2009...RESoR-s78H2qvL8CddeA6OkHfdT5eV8ZaBREd4NSKmaSg

After a cursory search I can't find anything on here about these watches; can anyone offer any further information?

Thanks

You may not be aware of this - http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/ - which will help. Go to Omega Constellation Movements Part 3 for more on the 100,000 chronometer run. There is a whole universe of good reading on Desmond's site.

And at this point Rolex weren’t even making their own movements!

Mines a 551, oh well. had to look back at photos from 4 years ago to double check the movement. Haven’t opened it since Archer did some rehabilitation on it.
