Re: Here's some ....

In Response To: Here's some .... ()

: Hi Niel,

: The 920 movement was introduced in 1968. I have
: no idea how long Chronostops were made, but
: I have an owners manual from 1972 ( came
: with my Speedy MK II ), which covers a
: number of Omega watches including the
: chronostop features, So I assume they were
: still available in 1972.

: Since you know it is a 920 bracelet & have
: noted that there are 2 case ref #'s (more on
: that below), you can get the back off. Get a
: magnifying glass/loupe & look for an 8
: digit number. This number will help you
: determine an age for the watch.

: You can use Chuck Maddox's serialnumber guide
: to get a rough guess. The table is not
: exact, but it's a good estimate.

: The reason for the rear case cover having 2
: different case Ref #'s is that the 146.009
: is the "on top of the Wrsit" ( =
: normal) version & the 146.010 is the
: "under the wrist" ( = driver )
: version. They both used the same case, rear
: cover, hands & movement.

: Finally here's a link to a Small web-page that
: I wrote on Chronostops>/A>

: I hope this helps

: Steve

Thanks very much Steve

Your information has been very helpful indeed.

From it I've managed to date my chronostop at 1969.

Thought your web page on chronostops was very informative.

thanks for taking the time to help out a complete novice.

regards

ps I paid �250 for it,it is in very good external order,was that a good price?
