Even it has changed. But models do come and go over the decades.

Don't worry. OMEGA keeps a great supply of parts.

Also, don't overthink the issue. Even models like the Speedmaster and DateJust that are made for over 50 years are improved over each decade, causing parts to be incompatible with older versions o fhte same watch. Parts for a 2004 Speedmaster won't fit a 1980 Speedmaster. Neither will parts from a 2004 Rolex DateJust fit a 1980 DateJust. So it is totally self-deceptive to think that just because a watch is still made for many decades that it makes external parts for older models of the same style more available.
