  • This time i´am restoring this beautiful Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000.
    It´s powered by the Omega 1012 automatic movement and it beats at 28800bph, the lift angle of the balance is at 52°. Omega introduced this model back in 1972 on the international collection.
    This Omega-Watch has one of the rare press-in cases. The inner case (container) is press-fitted into the outer case (jaquette) by an additional O-Ring.
    This O-Ring seems to have completely dissolved on this watch. The container doesn´t hold in the jaquette anymore and the residue of the O-Ring sticks everywhere. Apart from that, there are some signs of wear on the case-parts, the crystal has many scratches and the crown comes lose as soon as i tried to set the time.
    The movement works but loses more than 1 minute per day.
    I need to disassemble the whole movement, clean all the parts and re-assemble it with some fresh oil. The setting-lever is a bit bent, thats the reason why the crown comes lose when i tried to set the time. I fixed the setting-lever and after reassembling everything, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+2 seconds per day) again.
    I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

      I know it's been a year, but in general majority of the watches are the same overall.. keyless works, motion works, train of wheels, escapement, possibly automatic works and so on.. so the more you work on them, the easier you remember what goes where. Also most current movement-manufacturers have great manuals for disassembly and assembly. Not so much for vintage movements, but then the experience can help and as someone already said: record a video when taking it apart and watch it back.. for lubrication there are some general guidelines on when to use grease, when to use heavier oil and when to use light oil, so it's not really necessary to know the exact manufacturers specs (even though it's recommended)

    Omega Headquarters, in Basle in Switzerland, overhauled and serviced my rare 1953 Thin Arrow RAF military watch.
    It cost me £460, but the entire movement was disassembled, oilled, and the rest of the watch brought back to like new condition.
    Remarkably, the only part that needed replacing was the plexiglass, which over the decades had developed a small crack, allowing in moisture.
    If you have a rare vintage Omega, consider having it returned to head office, as the charge, was very reasonable considering the work done, and original parts used.
    Originality is everything, and even though the watch has a new plexiglass, its a genuine Omega item

      When you work on a lot of watches, it becomes second nature where everything goes. This is the same for any complex device. Do it enough and you too will be able to do it. Buy a practice watch and disassemble it multiple times, until you no longer need to check your notes. Then go on to another watch.... practice makes perfect.
