SM Chrono movement

I just got this from Omega (see below). When they send the seperate mail on the details of the Omega 1164, I will post it here as well.

---> The movement of your Omega Seamaster Chrono Diver is of caliber 1164 (this movement has replaced the previous version of movement 1154). We are sending you by separate mail the technical information for the caliber 1164.

Valjoux means "Vallée de Joux" or "Valley of Joux", a region in the Jura mountains of Switzerland where the watchmaking trade flourishes due to the skilled tradesmen which include craftsmen specialised in complicated watches and chronographs. The ETA Group has created several families of chronographs under the name Valjoux including the one based on calibre 7750. Within the Swatch Group (ex SMH), which includes the brand OMEGA, Valjoux produces the "customised" calibres OMEGA 1151 (based on 7751 - multiple display) - 1152 (based on 7750 - date) and 1164 (based on 7750) in chronometer version with official chronometer certificate of precision (COSC). Customized OMEGA calibres feature finely finished movements, Glucydur balance with Nivarox 1 spiral, pallet-stones, and a fine "Etachron" regulating system.

We sincerely hope to have been helpful to you and remain,

With kind regards
