Omega Seamaster Pro Midsize 36 (ref: 2551.80.00) (Add your watch to the comments below…)

The Omega caliber 1120 is an automatic movement found in some Omega Seamaster Pro 300M watches from the mid 1990s (1996?). Technical documentation was found dated May 1995.

Omega 1120 Drawings Wide

 

This movement can be found in both the full-size 41mm and the mid-size 36mm SMP models.

The 1120 is essentially based on the ETA caliber 2892-A2 framework. It has 21 jewels with a beat rate of 28,800 bph, 4Hz.

A note about power reserve: Earlier 1120 documentation stated 42 hours for the 1120, but listings currently on Omega’s website say 44 hours. The ETA 2892A2 which the 1120 is based on has a 42 hour power reserve. It’s safe to say expected power reserve can be somewhere between 42-44 hours.

This movement has a quickset date, hacking seconds, and can be hand-wound.

1109 to 1120:

The cal. 1120 replaced the Omega caliber 1109. That is why some models will have the older 1109 and other will be powered by the 1120. For example, the 2551.80.00 midsize SMP is listed by Omega as having the 1120 here, and the 1109 here.

I got my Omega Seamaster Pro 300, a very unusual style with Roman Sword hands and sinthetic wrist band with hidden clasp, in Berlin at Wempe Friedrichstraße in August 2000, now almost 23 years to the date. The Vereinigung still fresh, DM the official currency; the Euro still a reference that wouldn’t come in circulation until next year and the €/$ exchange rate at just 0.92, the window 1,200€ price, converted from DM, came to just US$1,100. Then the conversion to my native Mexican peso at USD 0.93 brought it furthermore to Mx$10,000 when I had been quoted Mx$23,000 for… Read more »

Best finish you can get on an ETA movement imo. I love my mid Seamaster with the 1120. Just wish it has a clear back to see it. The new Seamaster has nothing on the original, especially the 36.
