Notes

^A Data from table originally published in Omega Saga by Marco Richon and on Omega’s website. Earliest year in which movements using specified serial number range were issued according to Omega Museum historians.

^B Data from the book ^C Also from Kreuzer, indicates years up to which serial numbers were still used by Omega in small low-production quantities for special limited production models and certain rare movement calibers.

^D This column for use with Speedmaster models only. Data adapted with permission from “Omega Speedmaster Evolution” by Roman Hartmann. Data may not be accurate for Limited Edition Speedmasters and Speedmasters with cal. 863 or 1863.

^E For Omega Speedmasters with serial numbers >47 million refer to Roman Hartmann’s original Omega Speedmaster Evolution table for more specific dating.

^F This serial number data item not given in Hartmann’s data but empirically derived from a consensus of users in various internet Omega collector forums. Seems to occur most frequently with Omega Speedmaster Mark II models.
