Re: about breitling movements

O.K. That's a caliber 10! The Wings model is one of Breitling's least expensive autos. I haven't seen it, though I wouldn't be surprised if the movement finish is less than what it is in other models. The finish on the calibre 13 in the Chronomat Evolution models is every bit as nice as Omega.

I don't think there any any current model Omega's using a Lemania 5100 (which was really HUGE). I agree that this particular movement is probably one of the most rugged CHRONOGRAPH movements (you can't really be comparing this to non-chrono movements) --, albeit HUGE. Also, when did Omega use the Lemania 1350 or do you mean Omega caliber 1350 -- I'm not familiar with it.
