Hi
Yes we are talking about the same company. I agree that they are innovative but the quality of their movements is far away from old and new omega movements except for models equiped with the lemania 5100 which are now discontinued :(. Diapal or not diapal, an eta is an eta. If you have the chance to compare a movement example a piguet 1150 in the blancpain with an eta 2824 or a rolex 3135 and an eta 2824 those are very very different things. Eta makes and always made middle of the range mass produced movements with a very poor finish and average accuracy.
The Diapal is nearly the same thing than the Co Axial but less complicated how ever the co axial is better finished and has a greater over the long run accuracy. The Hydro I know about it, it has the famous technology based on silicon sealing.The most waterproof wristwatch was the Bell & Ross Hydro 11110 (sinn patent) and before the most waterproof wristwatch was a specific Rolex Oyster water resistant to 10190m that was worn by Piccard on the trieste at 10190m in the early 60's. Tegiment yes the thing that makes cases more resitant to scratches. Oh well, Omega cases are far enough solid to take beatings. Argon yes it is a good thing especially in chronographs. Sinn is more into military and specilized watches than luxury watches but they are great watches. But personnally I prefer a coaxial aquaterra or railmaster over a sinn 656.
