We're back with the second part of the service of this beautiful Omega Automatic from 1972 with the (in)famous 1020 movement. We'll discuss in a bit more detail a few aspects of the movement and also look at some of the weaker points that we need to consider during a service. And we'll be hunting Stingrays in Norway!

I have this movement in a 14k one piece case and bezel. The sliding and winding pinions were damaged, so I couldn't move the hands around to see if the day/date would change. Plus, it has that pain in the a_ _ two-piece stem so it would have been a pain to test. I ordered the parts I thought I needed, but after putting those few parts in, I put the watch back in the case, put the stem/crown in to test it, only to find the day of the week didn't change with the time (although you CAN change the day with the quick-set). Any ideas why the date would change with the time, but not the day? Thing is... it was a nightmare trying to get the bezel off (and then back on also) without damaging it. So since I didn't have the part, I decided to put it back together and not fix it. Maybe if I run across a parts watch some day, I'll go back in. But for now, it runs, keeps time, and the only issue is you have to manually change the day.

There is a little friction spring pressing on the seconds pinion to make the seconds pinion rotate smoothly, so your problem is likely that the spring is not exerting enough force.

Please share, how to fit a constellation type dial onto ETA 2836 movement ? Do I need the ring placed between the dial and the calendar ring for it to rotate freely ? Your movement doesn’t require that ring. However other movements do have it. It’s somewhat a high dial.?

@VintageWatchServices Жыл бұрын

Hello Ron, that's not necessarily all that straight forward. The dial feet need to fit the placement for the movement, and when a manufacturer makes a dial they base the position of the dial feet on which movement they will use. Thus if you really need/want to use a dial that was not made for the movement, you will have to remove the dial feet and place new ones. And for the ETA 2836 you'd probably need a spacer ring indeed, to make sure the date and weekday functions aren't squeezed on by the dial.

Looking at you pushing the cannon pinion onto the center wheel, I am confused as to what drives the center wheel. Typically, center wheel is the 2nd wheel, but the 2nd wheel in this watch is off the center, and I see no relation between the center wheel and the train of wheels. Can you explain?

@VintageWatchServices 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for your comment! In this family of movements, the power is transferred from the wheel of trains to the motion works by the so-called cannon pinion of third-wheel, which then drives the cannon pinion wheel. The actual cannon pinion is a tube that is pressed onto the cannon pinion wheel. There's quite a lot of detail about that from here on: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLWhfNd4tLLQZ3U.html

Hello Boyd, the pallets are certainly lubricated but it might not be part of the video. I don't remember the details of it but this was a relatively early video so that might be why. But pallets (or rather the exit pallet) are always lubricated during a service.

@leestrada1 Жыл бұрын

As always, great video. Although this caliber was quite criticized, it had many advantages over the 55X, 56X, 75X, as hacking seconds, high beat, a great efficiency in the winding system. Of course, the previous series (55X) was more refined in many ways. But if we compare the 1000 series to the movement of a competitor, like Rolex caliber 3085, 3085 had many more bugs at the beginning than the 1000 series, they solved them over the long run it had, in fact were solved in the first years, but it was way more unreliable -the first ones.

Fell in love with inspecting those tiny parts. I’m fascinated how thin the pinion for the seconds hand is but also durable. (I kinda had luck not breaking it during cleaning, I clean manually with fluids and a small brush.) Do you just lubricate the axles(in example of a cogwheel) going into the sockets or also the surface where the axle begins, because this surface should also have contact to a plate or something.

Wow, that amplitude looks great. And lift angle is correct at the modern standard of 52. I bought my first vintage watch, an Omega 166.070, yesterday. Knowing its history of non-service, I was pleasantly surprised with the amplitude i got on my timegrapher. Until I looked up the lift angle, and set it to 49. Amplitude dropped 25 degrees. Still: straight lines and amplitude in the 200-240 range isn't that bad for a 1969 watch, though?

I'm busy sorting out a Geneve for a friend of mine which has the 1030 movement with the built in secret compartment. Thank you Stian for the most comprehensive breakdown and assembly video of this movement, particularly the parts around the canon pinion and quick change yolk. I thought it was just me moaning about the screw sizes. One quick question - do I have to support the seconds wheel when installing the seconds hand, and if so what is the best way? The watch I'm working on was left to my friend by his father-in-laws family over 40 years ago. His father-in-law died a week before my friends wedding and the watch was gifted to him, so has a strong sentimental value. Saying that, it looks as though his kids used it for a hammer for a while. The setting lever was broken off where it meets the winding stem and the broken piece fouled the mechanism and took a divot out of the mainplate. The mainspring was broken and it hasn't seen a service in at least 40 years. Regardless, I'm quite nervous as it has big memories for the family and want to present it back in full working order. Your video has been a tremendous help and hopefully I won't find any more faulty pieces that are on the Omega 'Restricted supply' list.

Great video. In my business we talk about 'polymers' instead of "plastics". The word 'plastic' has a rather negative connotation, like being cheap and of inferior quality. As you probably know, there are many different polymers, each of them with specific characteristics, benefits and disadvantages, depending on the application. For some applications polymers can be far superior to metals. Being resistant to wear and tear and corrosion are just a few of those qualities. I am pretty sure the designers at Omega's have been very thoughtfull about which specific polymer to choose for that 'plastic' part in this watch.

@VintageWatchServices 2 жыл бұрын

After watching the 2 part video, I retrieved my Omega automatic day/date that was an engagement gift in 1974. It was put away because I got tired of returning it to service because the winding stem kept coming out. I can't adjust the time or the day and date. I waited until the watch showed the current time and have worn it all day to keep it wound automatically. It appears to keep good time after nearly 30 years in the box. Since it was purchased in 1974, I assume it is a 1000 series movement, likely manufactured in the early 70's. If the watchmaker couldn't get the stem to stay in after two trips to his shop, do you have a better suggestion? I never actually saw how you removed and reinstalled the stem, but I also didn't see you loosen a stem retaining screw. I'd like to wear this watch again because of its sentimental value and good looks. I really enjoyed watching the steady hands and clever dialog of a talented watchmaker. Thank you

@VintageWatchServices 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Jack, thanks for watching! If the stem comes out easily there are a few possible reasons, but most likely the setting lever nub is worn or the spring holding the setting lever down is not firm enough. It might also be that the stem is damaged. In any case these things should not be difficult to fix, but many watchmakers are not used to having to find old parts online. I'd suggest you google vintage watches in your area and choose the one with the best reviews.

If it were however, that would have shown up in the running of the watch.

Hmmm... could you please make your position on quartz watches a little more clear? It wasn't obvious to me how you felt about it. LOL! How about Tuning Fork or Electric watches?

Hello Clay, I don't actually hate quartz, I think they are pretty clever and undoubtedly better timekeepers than mechanical watches. They are however not interesting as machines. Same thing with tuning fork, electrical or for that sake smart watches. They can do more than mechanical watches can ever do, but there's nothing interesting about how they work. Mechanical watches are fascinating due to the ingenuity needed to make a few wheels and springs show time, date etc. It's of course also about the craftsmanship and tradition 😁

No sugar or milk/cream in coffee. I mean, why would you add those? It will ruin the taste.

Omega loves to use plastic parts in their movements. Kills it for me.

No one likes seeing plastic parts inside an expensive watch... But the 10xx were the first Omega ones to do so, the older ones are all metal, baby 😁

I prefer west end automatic because it has been best since ever I used it was every where people chose right watch. Omega shouldn’t support the China for hosting winter Olympic Games 2022, this would be big challenge to those democratic countries. Repeating errors of 2008 is not normal I don’t understand why do they have sponsored hence China is not respecting Rules and regulations of UNO.and not the human rights was ever been provoked problems of Whole Asian countries.still the South China Sea conflict have not been solve.
