It was overhauled three times in 54 years
In Response To: Re: my 1951 seamaster accuracy ()

: How often did you have it overhauled since
: 1951?
: Thank you,

: Common man

2 times it was overhauled by my grandfather and 1 time by me. So three times in 54 years. The quality of Omega movements of the 50's has nothing to do with eta based movements. Old Omega movements are really made to last very very long, like an old cadillac and they were 100% inhouse. I even have a 1930 omega pocket watch that was serviced one time and that keeps +5/+10sec per day, I inherited also from my grandfather.
