: I have just returned from the Omega's official
: Showroom at Delhi. I had asked the salesman
: about the price of the Cal. 1120 movement. I
That is NOT unreasonable for them to refuse that information. Omega is not in the business of selling watch movements. What they actually pay for subcomponents of their products is their internal business.
: Could you tell me how much does a Cal 1120 cost?
I had heard a while back that an unmodified 2892/A2 direct from ETA may cost between US $75-90, depending on quantity.
No way of knowing what the final cost of a completed Omega 1120 movement is after Omega's significant enhancements and COSC testing.
But the low cost of the base movement is not a negative issue. Sure, the basic materials and components for a watch are not expensive. In case you hadn't noticed, the technology that goes into a mechanical watch that merely tells time and date is neither new or high end stuff.
As I've said many times before, what makes a luxury watch worth more is a whole lot besides the simple sum of the physical parts.
