Re: SMP Movement
In Response To: SMP Movement ()

: I was wondering about the caliber 1120
: movement. Did it come from the ETA 2892A2
: movement?

Yes.

: And if so, what modifications did
: Omega do to this movement for the SMP?

The OMEGA 1120 is NOT exclusive to the SMP. It actually is used in numerous OMEGA models that have been in the collection since the mid 1990s -- including the Seamaster 120 many of the non-Coaxial gents DeVille and Constellation models.

The exact moddifications have been discussed in this forum many times before. Try doing a forum search to find those earlier threads.

: Where did the ETA 2892A2 movement originate
: from?

Not sure what you are looking for in an answer. It was invented by ETA and is the latest incarnation of a long series of movements they have evolved over the decades.
