The dreaded Omega 1000 family...! 😖

Today we have James' old Omega Automatic with the much maligned Omega 1000 family inside it. The launch of the 1000 family was Omega's first entry into high-beat movements and was marked by a lot of bad press and some birthing issues. This specific caliber is 1020 and as we will discuss, it's really not a bad movement at all.
Join Stian for a full service and repair of this very cool 70s watch as we take a few detours as always, including why Arnold Schwarzenegger was rejected by a watchmaking school!
