In Response To: Re: some precision about 1987-99 omegachrono movem ()

hi again ramon and hi the others omega friends

ah yes just some major infos for those who collect old speedies and old semaster chronographs
production years of modified lemania 1341 alias omega 1040: 1971-1973 found in speedmasters mark III, markIV as well as their seamaster counterparts
omega 1041: 1973 same movement as the 1040 but cosced and reserved to the speedy 125
productions year of modified lemania 5100 alias omega 1045: 1974-1986 found in all speedmasters automatics, speedmaster mark V reserved only for the western german market
both very good and nice movements, very very good reliability and very very good quality of movement finish and most important top notch dead on royal accuracy you can expect from an omega.Exemple from -3 to +1 sec per day for a 33 years old watch!!!Intervals every 5-7 years as compared to every 4-5 years for valjoux 7750 or eta wth dubois depraz chrono module movement equipped models.
So in short between 900 € to 2500€ you can get a nice vintage omega chrono that will last and last.

regards

georges
