Nice engravings! first time see Omega on 6497 )) why they add "unadjusted' ))

Nice one DJ , congrats !

Evgeny It's a 960 , Triovis regulator.
Bit of a strange one, usually they either come with that " button " in the Geneve variant, or they come engraved in various degrees.
As much as i love Panerai builds, i am not using Omega or Zenith movements for them, so waiting for a future case that i will find interesting enough to use them for builds.
Here's the two i own:

52 hours 20 minutes power reserve on the gold one
51 hours 10 minutes on the cotes the geneve rose gold one

in terms of power reserve and accuracy, both are in ETA 649x-1 territory.

AFAIR,
they had to engrave "UNADJUSTED" on most movements to avoid a specific tax when importing in USA.
Yet, I can testify that the Microvis regulator was very efficient and the 3 different 960 I had on my bench were running +/- 0s /d.

here is my favorite one: 962 = 6498 variant @dj57 I'm afraid to ask the value of a 960 nowadays

These days, I see OMEGA 960 pocket watches on eBay which have been sold for around €250–€280. Occasionally, though, I see some for over €300.
If an OMEGA 960 pocket watch reaches €180, I don't bother looking at it any further.

My pocket watch was used and there are engravings on the caseback.
But hands, dial and movement in top perfect condition!!

That 962 has me drooling
