Hi Bill,...
.... as I understand it, it's more or less due to the customer, who required some sort of "officiallity" for the timekeeper.
It's a quite technical watch and used mainly for official timekeeping, so this seems quite appropriate.
I have no insights though, which specific orders were delivered with the bulletin......
Also, as I understand the situation, it's not that easy to receive a duplicate of the bulletin today (it was possible a few years ago though).
But may be a special request at Omega for this specific watch could shed some more light on this matter?
BTW, same applies for the "sister" model by Longines.....(re. bulletins...)
Best regards
Suitbert

nevewr knew that !! very cool Suitbert !!
Hi Suitbert That is very cool never knew that Omega made these with Guillaume balance wheel. Do you know what they were used for with a "Bulletin de marche" of the Neuchatel observatory ? Looking forward to reading more on this topic. Good Hunting Bill So...

Yes
As far as I can tell It does indeed have a Guillaume balance.I will contact Omega regarding my piece and the possibilty of Observatory trials.
Trial/regular bulletin...
Hi Rikard, hope you didn't misunderstand what I tried to say. There are the well known Observatory trials (successfull movements also received a bulletin of course) and there are the "regular" bulletins (whch would apply for your watch). Te bulletin is th...
The cal. 206
which was used in this timer did indeed have a Guillaume balance wheel and had 22 jewels plus the "luxury finish" typical of omega's chronometre movements. The inventory number is printed on the dial and the timepiece belonged to the omega timing departme...
