: Movement looks right to me as a val 27 but
: remember Omega are not the only company to

I attached a more detailed photo of the engravings.

BTW I thought Lemania was manufacturing chronographs for Omega during this time period, not Valjoux. Or am I mistaken in thinking that Valjoux was a separate company -- or is it a distinction without much of a difference current day since they are all part of ETA, and certainly all part of Swatch Group.
