Chronographs, Directions for use ( 1972 )

I was sent scans for this brochure by Jeff Bagnall.
Thank you Jeff !


However, an Horourable mention ( English/Canadian spelling there ! ) should be made of Dave Marskell. Dave sold the watch to Jeff & offered me scans before he sold the watch.


This manual is dated August 1972 & would have been issued with Seamasters, Speedmnasters & de Ville watches, fitted with the 861 movement.

This is quite a small manual ( about 5 cm x 5cm or 2" x 2"). The scans are WAY bigger than the foldable card to aid legibility.
Click on any of the page scan for a larger (approx 70 KB) version.

Please excuse the watermarks I have added.

I would like to thank Jeff Bagnall once again for sharing these scans. And lets not forget Dave too !
If you have an Omega Manual or Catalogue, that you'd like to share, please feel free to E-mail me a copy.

I don't think Omega will have a problem with me reproducing these pages on the internet. They are good enough quality that they can be used, but not so good that people can copy, print & sell them as originals.
I have written this page to share the limited knowledge & information I have. Please don't abuse me, my work or other peoples pictures. It's not a nice thing to do !

Finally, It pisses me off that I have to write a disclaimer like this !

I am sick of seeing copies of brochures being sold with watches in eBay for ridiculous sums
