From an OMEGA 960 pocket watch into two OMEGA marriage watches

Post by dj57 »

Hi,

Today I would like to present the following two projects:

I bought weeks ago an OMEGA 960 pocket watch. Then I decided to build from this OMEGA pocket watch two 44mm OMEGA wristwatches.

1.) From the dial and hands plus a new 44mm watch case and a UNITAS 6498 movement I built the following wristwatch which I presented it the other week or so.
I had to reduce the dial from 40.87 mm into ~39mm

All the other steps should be known to you. Therefore I jump to the final result:

2.) From the movement plus a handmade dial, hands and a new case I built the following wristwatch:

Dial: idea, preparation, implementation, etc

And here the result:

Thanks for watching.
