In January
of 2004 a new Omega Seamaster book
started appearing on eBay. With the
help Tywebb on the TimeZone Omega
Forum, the ISBN number was determined
and the book was found on
Amazon.co.jp... This book which
Bablefish and others translate as
"The
Omega seaming machine star
story"
is available via Amazon.co.jp and even
with express shipping the cost is a
reasonable at around $35. Inside the
front cover is a slew of Calibre tables
which are replicated below. I am
presenting these tables under Fair Use
provisions in the copyright code. I
encourage all who are interested in
Seamasters or use these tables to pick
up a copy of the book. Even though it
is in Japanese the pictures alone are
worth it! If you have questions or
corrections please contact

adaptations of the work The
Omega seaming machine star
story
available via Amazon.co.jp. The original tables,
and a beautiful book are © (no date given) by
World photo press, Japan edited by Shozo Nakamura,
Tadashi Noda. It is
hosted under the terms of "fair use" in the
Copyright code with provides for limited use of
"several charts, graphs or illustrations", in
research materials for non-profit, educational
and/or personal use. I encourage everyone who has
an interest in the topics at hand to purchase a
copy of the book. However, due to the difficulties
of reading Japanese it is natural that most people
unused to Kangi would be reluctant to purchase a
book they would have limited ability to read the
text and less chance to translate via Babelfish or
other translation methods. Thus I feel this limited
adaptation of the work fits the conditions of Fair
use as I've researched it. -- Chuck P.S. Thanks for Chris K. for updating me on the
1000m's use of the c.1012. And thanks to Jeff
Bagnall for pointing out a typo in one of the
tables.
