Omega Caliber 1109

The Omega caliber 1109 is an automatic movement found in some Omega Seamaster Pro 300M watches from the early 1990s (1993?). This movement can be found in both the full-size 41mm and the mid-size 36mm SMP.

The 1109 is essentially based on the ETA caliber 2892-A2 framework. It has a beat rate of 28,800 4Hz, 21 jewels and a power reserve of 44 hours. This movement has a quickset date, hacking seconds, and can be hand-wound.

This movement was later replaced by the Omega caliber 1120 in the mid to late 90s (1996?).

Note: This caliber listing is still being updated, but feel free to start discussions on it in the comments below…

The 1109 is not based on the ETA caliber 2892-A2 framework, it IS an ETA 2892-A2, and even retains the ETA stamping on it. In the early 90’s, before developing their own ETA based movement, the 1120, Omega pulled a Tag Heuer and simply bought ETA movements, slapped on an Omega branded rotor, and installed them in their watches.

In a nutshell? The stated power reserve is inaccurate, sort of: Basically, for the ETA 2892-A2, ETA stated a nominal power reserve of 42 hours. That means the minimum you can realistically expect, though the range seems to be anywhere between 42-50 hours. Omega, in all likeliness, simply listed 44 hours as they probably felt the 42 hour listing was a bit too aggressively underrated. Other than the rotor, I am aware of no evidence or documentation to suggest Omega made any other changes. It certainly is possible, but they absolutely did not change any architecture, nor did they actually… Read more »
