I need the movement for the omega watch quartz 1342 . can you tell me the price plz. if you have in stock
I just rebuilt a Omega caliber 1342. I finally succeeded but it was a very learning lesson. I found that there is a sleeve to install a more available battery. I also found trouble with the date changing mechanism that involves plastic parts. Cleanliness is very important for these to work properly. Also, I found that the magnetized gears that change the date are very touchy so anyone fiddling with that part beware to not try to de-magnetize this watch. It was a fun and challenging project that I won. Cool.
I have an Omega quartz calibre 1342 (no seamaster on the watch face). can anyone tell me about it?
I can. This particular movement first failure is the date changer. It is made of plastic for one thing. Other comment is it is a battery eater. Generally around 1 year service. I removed the date change system to allow this watch to at least keep excellent time. The date change system is too heavy a load for this particular design.

Greetings — I wish to fix my Dads’ watch — A gift from IBM Corp. Omega Quartz (top of dial) Seamaster De Ville (bottom), 14K Gold – solid not plated, filled or anything but solid. Engraved IBM QCC 1981 (Quarter Century Club), Paperwork shows CAL.1342 movement (but the watch doesn’t work). It’s like a Rolex Day/Date (Which IBM switched too awarding the next year. He took it to a clock/jeweler friend who advised him it’d be a fortune to fix. I see (at this writing) there’s a someone on ebay selling a 1342 movement — I would never, ever, ever do any work myself (haven’t ever even opened the watch), but generally – to those in the know – are these units “drop-in” replaceable? He wants $199 for it, “working”. and of course I’d take it to a capable-someone. It’s just that this watch stopped working before it was actually ever worn (dress watch) and has spent the last 35 years sitting in the box. Two bills for the risk?
This is not the plated, filled, stainless-steel, used-from-a-pawn-shop but today to me, $200 isn’t “a fortune”. to fix. Thanks
