Restoration of a rare vintage Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 - Omega 1012 Service

- This time i´am restoring this beautiful Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000.
It´s powered by the Omega 1012 automatic movement and it beats at 28800bph, the lift angle of the balance is at 52°. Omega introduced this model back in 1972 on the international collection.
This Omega-Watch has one of the rare press-in cases. The inner case (container) is press-fitted into the outer case (jaquette) by an additional O-Ring.
This O-Ring seems to have completely dissolved on this watch. The container doesn´t hold in the jaquette anymore and the residue of the O-Ring sticks everywhere. Apart from that, there are some signs of wear on the case-parts, the crystal has many scratches and the crown comes lose as soon as i tried to set the time.
The movement works but loses more than 1 minute per day.
I need to disassemble the whole movement, clean all the parts and re-assemble it with some fresh oil. The setting-lever is a bit bent, thats the reason why the crown comes lose when i tried to set the time. I fixed the setting-lever and after reassembling everything, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+2 seconds per day) again.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

There's something about the watches... They sound obsolete in current era of cellphone and smart watches... But leave lasting impression whenever you use one. Video was oddly satisfying.
Watches are not always jewelry, there many watches are built with specific purposes for a job. An affordable, well built watch mechanical or quartz will last generations.
I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $34 million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
How did you grow your portfolio to $45m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, whats your cash flow like?
I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate and long-term ETFs.
Great move, please can you share her with me, or maybe her name so I could search for her online, thanks
Cathy Jemar Carlone look her up.
My dad bought an omega watch in the 90s and used it every day till he died. I gave it to omega service for restoration because the watch means a lot to me but always wondered why the service was so expensive. Thanks to your video I now know how much effort it takes to restore these watches. Amazing. Thank you.
Hope you take care of it
Had a Speedmaster too ! Service is 200 euro's. After seeing the video I just know why the service costs that much.
@@peerx7866 200 for a service is cheap haha. Rolex you pay at least 500-900 euro's
@@peerx7866 Having a chrono serviced by Omega themselves is at 750 Euro atm. A simple 3-hand-watch about 500. I own a '73 Geneve Automatic, 3 hands and a date. Service costs would be twice as much as I paid for it... LUL
It takes only 15 min....
I like how on the outer side it looks completely dead, but then you open it and the inside is still shiny and clean. Some awesome engineering!
Yeah, pretty insane the dial was in such good condition.
You place all those pieces on the table and I’m fascinated by how your able to remember where all the pieces go.
That's incredible for sure. 👏
he probably watched the video in reverse
I'm sure there's a manual for every single watch.
I know it's been a year, but in general majority of the watches are the same overall.. keyless works, motion works, train of wheels, escapement, possibly automatic works and so on.. so the more you work on them, the easier you remember what goes where. Also most current movement-manufacturers have great manuals for disassembly and assembly. Not so much for vintage movements, but then the experience can help and as someone already said: record a video when taking it apart and watch it back.. for lubrication there are some general guidelines on when to use grease, when to use heavier oil and when to use light oil, so it's not really necessary to know the exact manufacturers specs (even though it's recommended)
If you take apart and put back together enough mechanical/electronic devices, you learn to remember everything
MY FATHER WAS A WATCH MAKER. I MISS HIM VERY MUCH. YOUR VIDEOS BRING BACK MY MEMORIES WITH MY FATHER. THANK YOU. AND BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION.
You don't need any music in the assembly, your craft in silence and the sound of the small pieces, it's more than enough. It's mesmerizing actually.
Yep, turned my volume down. I didn't enjoy the music at all, it was very distracting...
100% agree. The music took away from the video imo
Agree
Yes we agree.. no background music pls... just like steve mcqueen movie 'bullit'... just pure engine sound.. thats what we call the sound of the artisan.
Agree. I turned the music down all the way. Magnificent watching such craftwork.
Whoever designs these watches are real super heroes. The amount of time, thought and work that would go into creating something this intricate is incredible.
And those who build the first prototype. Immagine those in pre-electricity era and pre-autocad era. All man made with light from the window or who knows what they used back then for better illumination. Those build the small accessories must have had problems with their eyes after only a few years period.
@@guardianobserver6593 I'm picturing an old swiss man sitting at a table in his basement with a candle making technical drawings and taking measurements. It really is amazing how they did all of this on paper.
This was done at a time when engineers were really engineers. Today, with all the modern software and tools, they design the parts which, when produced according to drawings, cannot be assembled together... :-(
@@mislavribar2191 well, not really fair. Today engineers are also building rockets that are reuseable. engineers today arent inferior in any way. but building a watch like this has become childsplay. maybe you can say that about engineers working on watches today but not about all engineers.
@@spawndwalk My comment was maybe a bit ironic, of course there are great engineers today. But, from 15 years of experience in manufacturing ( from manufacturing engineer to quality manager ), I see that the level of knowledge has decreased. Today, younger engineers do not think, they mostly rely on software, input the data, get some result but often without understanding what is actually going on. And I actually do not remember when I last saw properly made production drawing 🙂
You not gonna believe this but I actually meditate to those videos, they're so relaxing.
Amazing how pristine the dial looks.
ضصضصصصصصصصص
Yeah, Even before the cleaning....
This blows my mind because of the many tiny intricate parts involved.. What really blows my mind are the actual people that design them from the begining, and the machine tooling that must be designed to make all these small parts.. Bravo👏for another masterful refurbishing of a beautiful work of art
.
Don't forget, it was done before we even had computers, too.
@@misegades Yes! Which makes it even more mind blowing.. The people back then that made all these pieces by hand and figured out the movements to begin with were on a whole other level..
Yes it is amazing I agree.
Look at an A. Lange & Söhne. You'll ascend into watchmaking heaven 😉
its complicated for people who knows not a lot about watches, but for a professional it's a lot of simple ideas put together over many years. It didn't come to existence just like that, there were gradual steps of complexity and miniaturisation
Thank you for restoring that lovely 1972 Seamaster Cosmic to its former glory . Hopefully another generation can enjoy it for many more decades .
How you remember where all the parts go is amazing in itself
Yeah dude a a genius but I’m sure he goes back and reviews the video to see what goes where when needed.
When you work on a lot of watches, it becomes second nature where everything goes. This is the same for any complex device. Do it enough and you too will be able to do it. Buy a practice watch and disassemble it multiple times, until you no longer need to check your notes. Then go on to another watch.... practice makes perfect.
Nah he just recorded
Experience my friend
He watches the video of the disassembly in reverse
I now know why watches like these are so expensive, they’re amazingly well built. I can’t imagine the mind of the creator of such a beautifully intricate design and the complexity of making so many gears work in tandem. Great video 👍
Whenever I open something with some complicated stuff inside I close it back immediately.
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Same me but there always 1 stuff left which I don't know where it should be lol
Same heree 😂😂😂
Women's legs
My God, what art and what patience. It is clear that mechanical watches have a soul.
Refreshing with some cool music combined with fine mechanics 👍🏻
For anyone that wonders why luxury pieces cost a lot of $. They should watch this video and see the construction of this vintage Omega movement! Incredible work my friend!
And that's merely the assembly and service aspect of a watch like this. Imagine what goes into MAKING it all
Never, EVER, knew there was so much inside a watch. Skill. I would go mad if I lost one little piece.
It's actually spiritual watching this. The craftmanship is breathtaking.
After a hard day at work in the snow and rain I am grateful to have your videos to watch and a hot cup of tea on the old couch. Thank you
In a Throwaway World, it’s wonderful to watch you bring a thing of beauty back to life. Thank you
Holy crap. No idea how I got here, but seeing you disassemble that thing, and especially assemble it again, absolutely reaaaally made me understand why quality watches are so damn expensive. I'm off to see more of this
Anyone who ever wonders why these watches are expensive needs to watch this video. It’s an example of amazing engineering and craftsmanship.
The intricacies of this are staggering. I never realised how many tiny parts there are to a watch.
Omega Headquarters, in Basle in Switzerland, overhauled and serviced my rare 1953 Thin Arrow RAF military watch.
It cost me £460, but the entire movement was disassembled, oilled, and the rest of the watch brought back to like new condition.
Remarkably, the only part that needed replacing was the plexiglass, which over the decades had developed a small crack, allowing in moisture.
If you have a rare vintage Omega, consider having it returned to head office, as the charge, was very reasonable considering the work done, and original parts used.
Originality is everything, and even though the watch has a new plexiglass, its a genuine Omega item
Omega sadly often replaces valuable parts during service, I made bad experiences sending in an old Speedy with a Cal.321 and some other watches. I would advise to ask for advice on the Omegaforums before sending it to Omega. An Independent Watchmaker knowing vintage well can often be a better option.
@@CleverSmart123 I sold my MOTM after learning earth is a geocentric plane and we were lied to about the space missions. I must admit I was devastated at the time (no pun intended) yet now feel free as I quit my job, live off my rental property income and travel 6 months each year. I'll never buy such ludicrously priced watches ever again (though I have held on to my IWC Portuguese Automatic.
@@JollyRogerTheDodger So let's recap, you're a bum that doesn't work and you think space is a joke. The moon of course is also flat not just the Earth right? lol I'm sure Omega and Rolex are devastated a man of your caliber is no longer their client.....
@@jayhome2715 no no you have it completely wrong.... all the other observable moons and planets are round... its just our earth that is a geocentric plane! Because we are special and.. god i dont know man he's fucking nuts ok
Who’d let things happen to these beautiful time pieces is beyond me. Thank you for restoring them.
Damn, I look at how much people are assiduous, patient, talented. I'm not good at anything like that, because of which I can only watch the work of the master.
I pressed my youtube app wondering what would pop up for the first video and I saw this, I genuinely got happy. Man I really like your videos... I just love the idea of a guy taking apart a watch, cleaning it and putting it back together only hearing the watch/tools or whatever sounds you want to call it. Great stuff ⌚
I always admire skills of watchmakers, so many tiny pieces placed in order, just amazing
The joy of being a watchmaker without leaving home.
Or needing any of the tools!
@@2000bhoy Or skills
Did you mean: The joy of seeing a watchmaker without leaving home. ?
Absolutely fantastic watch restorations viewed here. Makes the mind boggle about the precise operations to dismantle, clean, polish, replace or repair damaged items and then reassemble with the replacement of worn parts. Excellent skills.
What a nice looking watch. Imagine coming up with something back then when there were little or no automation, robotic machines etc. Really gets you back in those moments.
tell you what - thank-goodness for people who've got skill, knowledge and patience...
@Bristol Fashion Yes, I always think I have skill, knowledge and patience but, then, I have to put the thing back together and I come down to earth with a bump.
@Mo Fa I was thinking that taking it apart is the fun part, putting it back together is a whole other story. I have no idea where each piece would go. Kudos to you
@@mofa9745 х хочу
Especially patience. I would've thrown the whole work bench out the window
@@monsterzx6rr85 Same, I just want to take it apart and clean each part up. I know where my limits are, and won't even try to assemble. I would get shaky hands just from the anticipations of failing.
I couldn't believe what my eyes just saw, never ever imagined in my dream a clock would be that complicated machinery, superb work man
The way you go down to the basic structure of the watch is admirable
The flux capacitor blows my mind, love it to bits…especially v1 😂
That dial was way more pristine than I thought it would be..
I didn’t read the description til after I watched the video, and I had the same thought. But if the black gunk was just dissolved o-ring, it makes sense. How did it dissolve? Did someone use a nasty oil?
And thanks for wearing a mask and behaving responsibly.
@@johnsrabe Some plastic, rubber mixtures turn to gunk over time. Some record players I work on have liquified rubber drive belts after being out of use for decades.
@@ricsi7607 Yes! I have an old Philips and the repairman said he spent hours just cleaning out the goop. (I forget the model number but it’s a totally automatic one; with TWO motors so extra belts to get gooey.)
It always amazes me how these time piece can taken apart, serviced, then reassembled just to come out winning. Amazing. Thanks for
sharing.
I’m not a person that struggles with anxiety or anything like that but I have stress and triggers like everyone else. When life doesn’t make sense watching these videos are therapeutic to me
This chap must be a saint....has the patience of a saint for this very sophisticated work....amazing really
I feel like for once my OCD and attention to detail won’t be a problem in this field of work. Why does this sooth me so much to watch!?
"to watch" haha
Excellent job! I have a '68 Seamaster with 565 movement. Had it serviced last year, and it keeps dead-accurate time. It didn't break the bank either. Vintage Omegas are very underrated.
Pure Craftsmanship of the absolute highest standards, your Skill & Dexterity are amazing.
U
Somehow fascinating to watch a watch being dismantled, cleaned and reassembled, I might get the idea to do it myself, my fascination for it is stimulated.
I proudly wear my 50’s Seamaster “Bumper style” fully restored in Switzerland in 1998 and although I’ve inherited in an pitiful state at the time, no regrets whatsoever to the money spent on it. Thanks to craftsmen like you. Thanks
It is important in life not only to find what you like but also to be good at. Nice work
I’m a do it myself kind of guy, I do pretty much everything myself, fabrication, sewing, upholstery, paint, work on my own phone, so I ordered a watch recently and decided maybe I would try my hand at doing some watch tune ups, but after watching this I don’t think i will haha
Anyone who wears a mechanical watch should “watch” one of your restoration videos, to fully appreciate the art that goes in to making one.😍🤤😎
I have a cosmic 2000 and it’s been serviced a few times and I never have seen before how involved the service was. Excellent work and thanks for sharing !
Jon Sage you have one for sale?
Shear craftsmanship! I hope this is never lost.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SKILL AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THIS GENUINE TIMEPIECE
It's crazy to me how all those little parts and pieces come together to make it accurate timepiece
I can’t believe how flawless it was once you opened it up. I suppose the waterproofing definitely paid off.
Nah, I dig the music and for it adding a setting to what kind of lifestyle the owner/previous owner may have lived. A well to do successful business person maybe and carefree and fancy loose.
Or the feeling one gets for restoring a work of art to pristine running condition.
The bass guitar is awesome
Fantastic series. You sir a a true professional craftsman. A true watch maker. It’s sad to see such a craft becoming less and less. Thanks for the videos
This is calming and give me anxiety at the same time. Like, there is no way that I am gonna be able to put those abomination intricacy hell back....
That disassembly was so intensive that I forgot to breath at some point.
Fantastic job. As you can see in the video, you have to be very patient and accurate to restore old timepieces.
I always watch with low music because watching your movies calms me down and regulates my heart rate.
Thank you for that and best regards.
Richard
This has left me gobsmacked as to the level of expertise involved, simply stunning.
This would have to be the most fascinating thing i have seen this year, truly amazing skills and talent.
Now I know why watches are expensive. The system is so complicated. And now I appraised the watch maker more because of this video.
The videos are better without the cheesey music. Let's hear the natural clinks and clanks!!! Love your content!
Agree.
yesssss, agree rt.
Agree, it's satisfyingly
"Aaanwww heeeeeee" you dont like this wonderful music ??
I like the music.
One of the most clean restorations, beautiful watch with a unique casings unlike other watches you restored.
I had to watch this twice... I am utterly astounded at the complexity of this beautiful piece of engineering. Thought you were never going to get to the end of all those tiny components. A joy to watch this restoration. I don't know HOW you remember where it all goes but guess that's because you are a craftsman and clearly respect your work. Now I understand why these watches cost so much. ❤️
One thing I’d love to see is how all the movement parts are actually made!
Thanks for sharing your skills and love for watches. We viewers truly appreciate your art. More power to you.
Dude you don't even shake when you take the small pieces out, yet I'm shaking from just watching you take them all out and back
I find the detail and delicate components fascinating.
I like shiny things clicking into place
Exceptional skill, craftsmanship and patience. Nice work!
czcams.com/video/PmWOhHv625E/video.html He copyrighted😱😱
As an Omega guy, I loved this project.
So much appreciation to your patience and attention to detail. Very talented.
It's so neat to know that Gorgeous movement is hidden within.
I agree 😔
I don't know why I have a rare attraction to watch this kind of videos.
igual me pasa a mi ,vuelvo a mis 13 años ,hoy tengo 62 , cuando tuve la oportunidad de ser un TECNICO INDUSTRIAL MECANICO CON MENCION EN RELOJERIA E INSTRUMENTOS DE PRESICION , como carrera profesional
Sir ... My utmost respect, the thought and care you gave the Seamaster was beyond outstanding ... Thank you for sharing your skills.
Even the pieces are elegant, you can see the good work of the manufacturer
My heart pounds when you take it apart because i know there is no way it's going back together. You're an artist.
My mouth became dry because I’d had it open the whole time!
Watch repairer of thirty years, not to your level though! Stunning restoration!!!! Who on earth dislikes this?!?!?! This is skill!!!!!
If you're not on his level by 30 years, what are you doing? LOL
@@fruitytoots4133 I do watch servicing of some mechanics, but place where I work is so busy no time for restoration like this guy does. Too time consuming. Also constantly serving customers so just not possible to do this type of work in my work enviroment.
@@jasonwragg200 It was more of a smartass comment. no offence to you at all. :)
@@fruitytoots4133 it's all good Fruity Toots 🙂
I used to own a similar watch. It was stolen from me years ago. I wish I still had it. I really enjoyed watching the video and your craftsmanship. Well done!
AGREED!
LIKE THE NATURAL SOUNDS OF THE RESTORATION!...
Blessings James
Such a well-made piece of hardware... Absolutely pristine on the inside.
I’m truly blown away how you can take these watches apart and remember how and where to put all the tinny tinny pieces back to make them work. Your amazing! 👍😀
Congratulations!!! That's what I call precision work. You're an artist.
This reminds me of those old Japanese craftsman videos. Really enjoy the style. Thanks!
I love watching these videos, how you can remember what goes where is a skill itself
Now I know why they’re called ‘complications’. Man that was a lot of parts! Ridiculously satisfying to watch this. Thanks for the great content. Cheers.
Intricate engineering at its best! What a gem of a restoration!
I don't know why, but what you do with these restorations absolutely mesmerizes me. I watched the Rolex GMT Master Restoration and now I am hooked on these videos. There is just something... relaxing about watching the process and it ends with a strange sense of satisfaction. Thank you for the videos!!
Same!
They're very relaxing
Welcome to another episode of: Things I never thought I'd find interesting but was captivated by 👍🏼
I was watching this thinking how amazing it is this person can take apart this watch, clean it, troubleshoot it, repair it, and finally reassemble all these incredibly small precise pieces. And then I wondered what it must take to manufacture them all to begin with. 🤯
Now imagine that they did this before industrialised manufacturing over 150 years ago
Never thought I'd say this, but I thought whoever designed jet engines must have been beyond brilliant, and now I think the watch designers are up there, too.
If you were to manufacture it on a conveyer belt, then it would be easier. But it does add to the overall costs for the extra people and training.
Lovely restoration of an iconic watch.
So satisfying to see a beat up watch restored to its former glory.
Almost like a brand new good thing that the dial and hands are in good condition
Aaa@@aaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa@aaaaaa009299
Wow! Thank you for doing this to this watch. Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful!!! Love how it recovered all its dignity, from the precision of its movement to the shine of the case. I know sometimes it’s frowned upon, but I think a regimental G10 strap would fit with it, you know, like the grey and black James Bond uses right now.
This is just as satisfying as that one scene where the old man patches up Woody.
💯
This person knows their way around a watch, most of us would have no idea how to put it back together, it’s strangely therapeutic watching this. Great artist at work.
Omega is the best watch brand for me. This piece looked absolutely gorgeous at the end...
2 секунды в день - отличный результат👍
Hands down to the best craftsmanship ever... My goodness.. Really havin goosebumps
Gorgeous watch, I like the vintage design more than anything else.
