Finding the "correct" crystal for an Omega C 2576-7


Recommended Posts

This is an ongoing project for me. I have just replaced the hands and dial on this watch, as well as servicing and replacing some damaged internal parts.

When I got the watch, it had a very poorly fitted crystal that dropped out with very little pressure from the inside.

I have installed a generic crystal that is nice and snug so it is working for now. But I would love to find the right NOS crystal for it. Ebay has many listings for crystals, with the diameter listed, and usually Omega part numbers form the paper envelope, but I am currently lacking the research knowledge to figure out what the correct part number would be.

I know I need a 29.6mm crystal with a silver ("white") tension ring, or at least I am reasonable sure that is correct. 

I have found images of the parts breakdown for the movement parts but nothin similar for the case.

Can anyone point me to a good reference for the case parts?

Cousins says part number PX5000. But that’s a gold ring type,

Based on the PDF your number is more or less correct you just have to change one of letters. Then it looks like there's a seller on eBay  not cheap of Although cheaper than what Omega would sell it to you for
