If it is a 1430 quartz movement, you are after and are in the UK , then you may be in luck with this refurbished one listed here
https://www.ebay.com/itm/393789549572?hash=item5bafafac04:g:Tk4AAOSw68Nhtxbh
I was unaware that so many variations of this eta 955.461 existed as I thought that the number was was identifies the movement such as eta 2824-2 is universally a 2824-2 with the date at 6 being the only variation!
I learn something new every day!
Do it yourself if you can otherwise at todays rates you may soon need to mortgage your house even to call a plumber to unblock your toilet! LOL!!
Otherwise send seller a pm & ask if he has anything else as they do not normally list everything! The only other place in the uk would be May Moorhead , northern watch and clock supplies in hillsborough Down? Found parts for a FHF movement there !Good luck!
Many thanks for your help and interest
My Omega has 1538 movement, sorry difficult to photo, don't understand eta?
Would be happy to have any movement which works? Certainly no interest in value or selling it? Have sent a message to May?
Regards

Firstly, it would have been nice for you to introduce yourself as a new member!
This site is predominantly for those with an interest in the replica world of timepieces, but that isn’t to say that we do not discuss genuine timepieces either (as replicas are based upon them)! We welcome without discrimination!
Do you have a model number for this omega model as it appears to be the 41mm omega reference 2541.80 according to your description date? If this is correct???? , the this uses the omega caliber 1538 which is based on the eta 255.461! I remember replacing one recently for a work colleague! It was the same model used in the Bond movie “Golden Eye”. They would sell online new for Approx 200 American dollars all depending on what part of the planet you reside! If you are savvy with basic watch repairs, you may do. It yourself and save heaps!!
Good luck and BTW Welcome to this wonderful fraternity of watch lovers!
Sorry, just searched for 'replacement Omega movement' and found rwg, thought it was a 'supplier'?
Actually have a Rolex copy, based on a self winding Seiko movement, but simply wanted to be able to wear my Omega?
Also have a 48 year's old mechanical Omega Genevie, which was my 21st present from my parents!
Thankfully Jimmythree has posted, what appears to be, a link to the movement I need?

Stick around, don't just 'hit and run'.
I had an Omega 'Pre SMP' back in the 1990s with an Omega 1438 aka ETA 255.461 that would stop now and then so I put a regular ETA 255.xxx in it. Can't remember the last 3 digits but the only functional difference was the replacement had a conventional date setting method where the date in the 1438 flipped over by moving the hour hand.
Do not know the difference between an Omega 1538 and 1438 but the 1438 is a 10 1/2 ligne (23.3 mm) movement and all the other ETA 255.xxx I have listed in a catalog (255.421, 255.462, 255.465, 255.495) are also 10 1/2 ligne size. 1L = 2.12mm.
They all are at or above $100 and the 255.462 is $125. My catalog is from November 2020 so the prices have probably changed since then.
Btw, there are two used 1538 on eBay...one for $295 and one for $478. (!!!)
Good luck!

Just where to buy one?

My 1998 quartz Seamaster needs a new movement? Other than Omega are there any others available?
Had the battery replaced by Timpson's in UK, it was 'clunking' showing low battery, they returned it DEAD!
Even paid £350 (?) to have it 'serviced' they then quoted £1000+ to repair the watch I bought new for $1000
Would appreciate any advice, as I'd like to keep wearing it?
