I saw this on eBay, and I just had to have it for the workshop!
This wall clock was supplied by Omega to their dealers, and it measure a good 33cm across.
It’s now the pride and glory of our workshop, and hanging on the wall where the old boring radio controlled quartz clock used to be.
Be careful with it, you won’t be able to buy spare parts for it soon.
Very cool, but looks like the tachymetre ring doesn’t quite align, just like the Speedy Pro you just serviced!
Yes, I had to think of the last Speedy as well when I saw it first!
I made my own based on a Sturmanskie chronograph about a year ago: http://www.stefanv.com/watches/a-riff-on-a-russian-navigators-watch.html
I too used a continuous sweep quartz movement. I also made the sub-dials functional. One reads temperature and the other humidity.
Excellent job! 🙂
That is really cool!
Wow, you’ve done a great job! Would love to make my own one day.
very cool, I bought a funky wall clock about 12 months ago. Being a mechanical watch fan the tick tick on the wall clock was annoying so I replaced its movment with a simliar quartz movment but one with a sweeping seconds hand! You can get them off the bay for around £5

What annoys me about those cheap clock quartz movements is when the second hand ticks then tremors a bit before ticking again ;(
yeah and the tick tick tick noise is really annoying if its in your bedroom, the sweeping quartz movements are only a couple of pounds more expensive and make hardly any noise.
I guess Mitka would prefer this;

There is a guy on TZ-UK selling one if you want to make an offer – apparently it needs servicing 😉
I think the designer misunderstood something about the definition of “tourbillon”.
I want one!
I assume the chronograph pushers are crisp and swift in action!?
🙂 Nice Toy!
I’m guessing it’s not an automatic?
£2 quartz movement 😉
O_o
Nice!
