Hi everyone, I have a Swiss emperor chronograph with a landeron 248 movement.  The backplate reads 248 O W. The problem is that the seconds hand it came with was the wrong size and kept falling off when the fly back button was pressed. I don't know the size of the tube of a replacement seconds hand or where to acquire one, any help much appreciated.

Peter.

Hi, my first post would not allow me to upload pictures. I have tried to replace the seconds hand with some spare seconds hands I had but they were for conventional watches and the tubes were to small. I know that this watch takes a larger tube but I don't know the size it takes.

Thanks for the answers, trying to find a seller that deals with these specific parts is proving to be problematic. A seller on eBay is selling a complete set of landeron 248 hands but the bid's are starting to go high and I only want the centre seconds hand. 0.25 is a good start so I will concentrate on that. I have experience in removing hands and dials as I re-illuminate watches but I haven't tackled a chronograph, so I will leave that option alone. I didn't properly introduce myself on my first post so my name is Peter and I am from Liverpool, England and have been collecting watches for about 5 years. I also repair and refurbish when possible. I have a certain leaning towards pre 70's Omega's, but I have some others which I like such as Zenith and Ollivant and Botsford. Many thanks for your input and I hope to help others on this forum especially on the subject of Omega's or re-illuminating dials and hands if I can.

Kind regards.

Sorry I did not have access to the pictures.I presume the hand you are referring to is the hand that sits in the middle of the dial. I call it the fly back hand because when used it re-sets back to the 12 o’clock position. Because of this action it has to has to have a really tight fit, if not it drifts away from  the 12 o’clock position. Cousins are good source for watch hands.

Hi, I have checked Cousins and found two chronograph hands that may fit the bill. Both are 16mm long, one is 0.25mm diameter and the other is 0.27mm. I will buy both and see if either does the job. I will let you know the result when I receive them.

Thanks again.
