??? dont know too much about it apart from this
OMEGA Equinoxe, 1981
First reversible watch with double display: analogue on one side for hours and minutes, digital on other side with five simultaneously operational programmes: hours, minutes and seconds or date, countdown, alarm, chronograph, hour signal.

sellers comments

A reluctant sale of one of the crown jewels of my collection. Supremely rare 1980 Omega Equinoxe - top of the range model and incredibly expensive when new - it was I believe more than a Speedmaster - sure someone out there knows! This is the steel and gold two tone version. For those that do not know, here is a brief history from the Omega website.
The clever thing is that the watch head may be swivelled or removed completely from the bracelet.

Oh Boy, you have got a good one there! I have never seen this model before but just did a quick bit of research, check this page out!
http://www.old-omegas.com/1655en.html

It contains all the instructions and says it is accurate to 5 seconds a month, whilst not in HEQ territory it is still very accurate, A minute a year!

You should pop over to the HEQ forum at watchuseek as they have incredible knowlege of vintage higher qualtiy Quartz, I am sure they would love this one!
