Hey Ernie, It is probably a private label....and it looks like a 11-15 jewel.... Maybe Tom can use his investigative skills and come up with whoever "Labrador" is.... ![]() Good Luck, Jerry | |||

Well I don't know if this helps but on both ebay & under a google search of "OMEGA LABRADOR" I found photos of several identical watches, one site said that Labrador "was a range of high grade movements produced by Omega" The watch photos I found doing the search are just like Ernie's & they all have the same regulator & stud.

I googled Omega Labrador. It was very informative. Thank you Tom for the tip. I am pleasantly surprised. I had no idea the Labrador was such a high grade watch with quite a history. Ernie | |||

Interesting Watch Ernie, Newfoundland and Labrador, who the dogs are named after, is an island province that joined Canadian Confederation in 1949, this could be an Omega private-label for the Canadian market. Larry Buchan | |||

Nice one Tom, certainly a nice movement too - screw set jewels and micro' regulator, all signs of a good quality movment on a Swiss watch. John | ||||

Labrador was a series name for the Omega Watch Company. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success. Here is a link to the Omega Heritage: Omega Watch Company | |||
