| Omega uses it's own in-house numbering system to refer to caliber numbers of it's time pieces. This watch uses the Omega cal. 1045 movement which is the same as the Lemania 5100 movement. The 5100 has been and is currently in production and used by a number of manufactures in their Chronographs. Omega fine tuned the Lemania movement it procured from Lemania and stamps it's name and logo on the rotor (see below). The c.1045 uses a 17 Jewel automatic movement, and features four hands operating from the central pinion which requires a significant distance between the dial and the inside surface of the crystal, making for a thick watch. This movement is not for the petite, or those looking for a watch that will fit easily under a dress shirt cuff. For Dimensions of the watches I own please see the table I have at the top of this article... The Lemania movement is also known for using a significant number of plastic parts which are significantly lighter and seem to perform as well or maybe even better than metal parts would despite what some watch purists believe or would have you believe. |
