: Am I wrong to say that this is a genuine
: vintage omega? As for the movement,
Why would you say that? Sounds perfectly genuine from what info you've given me.
: it i.e. is it a high quality movement, etc.
Omega never used low quality movmements. Though on the vintage watches, the Chronometer certified ones are usually what to look for to find the best they offerred.
: PLAQUE OR G
: 20 microns
This means the case is gold plated to 20 microns thickness.
: 166.035
This is the case number. The same casework may be used for several similar watches of the same period.
: 28757008 and the movement is 752.
You'll have to have Omega look up the serial number to get you exact details.
But the 752 movement is listed as "first Omega Caliber with date and day of the week, swan's neck fine regulation, 24 jewels." The base 750 came out in 1967, so the 752 would be sometime after that.
The otherwise identical 751 *was* Chronometer certified. So you have the equivalent movement, merely not sent for COSC testing. Remember, the COSC tests do *not* make the movement better, they merely are an independent quality control test that validates that the movement--when properly adjusted--can operate with COSC specs.
So it sounds like you do have a very exxcellent vintage Omega!
