It has 24 jewels and is adjusted to two positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 700 series has a direct lineage to the celebrated 500 series, and is arguably as good, and collectors are beginning to recognize it accordingly. It was the last very fine movement series of its kind before Omega began to make budget cuts because of the quartz revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents as mint with only slight signs of previous polishing. Its dial is original and untouched, in mint condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping accurate time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
