Hi Ivan:
this question has been a pet project of mine for a while, and I am somewhatg confused by the info I've received from various sources, INCLUDING Omega.
Here is a question for you...
Did Omega.ch tell you that your watch was made in 1996?
If they did, you might ask them why the 1154 movement was used, since the 1992 date Derek posted came to our attention from the product develepment office in Switzerland.
Now it is possible that they continued to use up their old stock of cal. 1154's until they were gone, but this seems pretty unlikely to me.
To further confuse the issue, a few months ago, I was talking to a watchmaker in the Omega Canada National service center in Toronto, and he showed me an uncased movement cal. 1154.
The movement was WHITE, not the bronzy-gold that most older Omega movements were... and it was signed OMEGA 1154 on the cotes de Geneve polished rotor.
So both this, and your watch, and even the literature distributed by Omega themselves, seems to indicate that even the people at Omega are a little confused on this topic.
If you ever take your watch for servicing in the future, ask the watchmaker to let you see the movement, and verify it yourself...
Sorry I could not be of more assistance, but I would suggest you e-mail Omega and let us know what they say.
Cheers,
Mus.
