Re: Co-axial visibility

In Response To: Re: Co-axial visibility ()

: 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).
So, if I understand correctly, the view of the cal.1120 would not differ very much as seen through the caseback.

: 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.
