If your talking about the 321 and 861 movements, they both passed NASA's stringent tests. The 863, same as the 861 movement but only different is the 863 has a metal lever for stopping the chronograph function. I do believe however that the geneva waves are decorated on the 863 for presentation purposes. The latter I am not too sure but the former I am. Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks! Warm regards, Louis
: Talking about toughness, there would be interesting to know if the
: replacement of the castle wheel by the shuttle/cam Omega did in the
: sixties (for saving reasons), affected the movement's reliability.
: Someone out there to comment this issue?
: Oh! lovely forum, I feel here like home!
: Best regards.
