Omega speedmaster pro (861) walkthrough?

Recommended Posts

I would love to see a video or photographic walk through of the dissassmbly and assembly of an Omega 861 (Early Speedmaster). I have to restore my personal Speedmaster (given to me new in 1974 by my parents). I have worked on several chronographs in the past but with guidance from books or videos but I would be much more at ease with visual guidance. I looked everywhere for the 861 takedown and couldn't find any detailed work. I also searched for the similar Lemania 1873.

Have a look at Lemania 1873 in the forums walk through section . Same movement. 

Knowing that they were essentially the same movement I had already done a page by page search and a system search for 1873 and all I found was Brian3's interesting post concerning the manufacturing of a part. I repeated the search just now and still come up empty handed.

No walk through of the Omega 861 or Lemania 1873 that I can find. If I am somehow missing the thread would you please offer a link?

Thanks!

My fault as i didn't read the whole thread.i thought is was a walkthrough? 

As you say i can't see anything about either the 861 or the Lemania

1873?

Have you search the net for Tissot cal 27? Same same but different. 

The only services with pictures i can find is watchguy.co.uk . He has done both Lemania and Omega and Tissot.

Thanks rogart63. I'll start searching today. I'm not highly concerned as I already know where the eccentrics are located and how to adjust the chrono finger and jumper as needed.

A walkthrough is one way to keep me from over reaching and going too fast. I have made mistakes born from overconfidence.

You are not the only one?  It's great that someone done the mistakes before i do them. 

Would be very nice to now how to service a 861 movement. Or a Tissot cal 27 . Have one that runs okay but will certainly need some attention in the future?

    • Dell fancy a challenge🤣   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285785684626?itmmeta=01HT29WVJY21Q94C73GYHGBTFX&hash=item428a277a92:g:15YAAOSwNRVmBAUz&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0DIe4QLQBW66rSyIMiyBuk8GY%2B86pQ%2BQnxGbcNq7egAGe5DIs9YMmiWJIbZtMSxwNJIiJxuojbq523IeUSBQ6pJEIQ0tfz2ChrBR03BksmKINyklg1IK4GAfAcYY9Hta9wVeSZSZN7ZCNAfZTgKs9c4%2BUIUZ3Qjc3QjUXDn2uPRo1FiYOEewMG5A26EXb%2BclBgrqtbOmM6P3bea%2F8ZImOAXNI1HtbmtMk84pIGoM6ISwaM1PKFuADtTFMccS5e3ZjndCbXYXHrW3CecsV0edw3M%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8q588nQYw Darwin’s theory of evolution has not been proven to be absolutely.  😀 
    • A already know the size movement I have the problem is the dial a had purchased has a dimension 20.6mm wide a want to find a watch case that going to fit the dial perfectly 
    • Hi.  I would like to take issue here regarding battery driven , watches, clocks,etc. I will and do repair these clocks in fact I have sever al in my collection as well as the regular mechanical ones. I have one on my mantle piece over 60 years old tha belonged to my wife’s Aunt,  long gone Iam afraid and it has been cleaned etc and never missed a beat and is accurate. Every one has their preduices as regards Electrical /electronic Horology but I regard it as part of the progress time line of the art of Horology and to be treated as such. Like Darwin’s theory of evolution it evolved.  Two cavemen knocking rocks together and a shard broke off , looking at it he worked out if it was stuck on the end of a stick he would have a spear. Likewise his pal seeing what he was up to picked up a piece  and did the same, now that’s evolution. Some clockmaker decided to build a clock that ran with a battery and no spring to wind up and break, progress and both the mechanical and battery driven clocks evolved, the battery ones got better to the point that if it broke you changed the complete unit. Likewise watches did the same but both can be repaired by people who approach Horology with an open mind without preduice.  We all have our likes and dislikes bu I for one would never dismiss any technology because I don’t like it.   The mobile phone is a good example of modern technology at work as is the automotive industry. There buttons and switches in my car I don’t use because to me they are not nesessary but I still drive the car.
    • I haven't gone through all the reading of what it might be or not. The first thing I would do if nothing obvious stands out is replace the mainspring, you have to start at the source of the power. Nine times out of ten that is the problem.  
    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
