: mostly hidden from view.

Yes, the coaxial escapement itself is pretty much an internal part. So other than seeing the fine finishing on the movement, and watching the balance wheel move, there is nothing revolutionary to see throught he back.

One way to see what it really look like when working is an animation on the OMEGA website. Go to omegawatches.com, search for coaxial and find the section on the DeVille Coaxial (the first one introduced).

Best part of the display back to me is merely enjoying seeing the movement at all. Most expensive watches are just a mysterious black box where only the service tech ever sees the mechanism within.
