Omega 1481 Description

The Omega 1481 is an automatic caliber from the early 1970s, jointly developed with Tissot (who used it as Cal. 2481). It is a workhorse movement that powered many Seamaster and Geneve models. Its most distinctive feature is its quick-set date, which is operated by repeatedly pushing the crown inwards. The movement runs at a modern 21,600 bph.
