Hey Guys,

from my parts box I am selling this Omega Speedsonic Project. Its one of the rare Chronometer Chronographs, powered by a tuning fork movement (invented by Bulova). It's told that around 10.000 movements of these were build and just a part of them went to Omega. Beeing a Chronometer chronograph, this is something special even for Omega and was top of the line back then.
Unfortunately the movement isnt running. I put a battery in and its humming, but not running. Not sure if its just a service or if there is something bigger broken.
On the plus side is the stunning mirror dial, thats supports the tech-loving look. The Chrono hands reset to zero.
The watch comes with a 1162 bracelet, instead of a lobster one. It looks like the 1162 was a option back then, the modifications look factory made. IMO it wears better and more solid.

Since its a non runner but still a rare and interesting (parts-) watch, I'd like to have 800€. Watch is located in Germany, worldwide shipping is no problem.

Cheers Nico

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
