more precision about the 3301
In Response To: Re: Quick Correction... ()

Depends on which forum you visit on TZ. The Omega one is great. Especially there is Chuck Maddox who provides lots of info there.
The 3301 is based one the frederic piguet 1285 es (means special edition) made by Frederic Piguet by Omega. Omega owns a part of Frederic Piguet movement company. That was told me by Marco Richon the keeper of the Omega musuem I met at Omega flagshipstore in Paris.
The 3301 is a 33 jewels, 28800bph rated movement, slewinding bidirectionnal automatic cosced chrono movement. There were issues with old models wit hthe 3303 america's cup chrono but now problems with the 33xx seem to more rare.
Besides that I always try to share my knowledge about movements here.
To the person who said luminova is better than tritium that is false.Luminova glows strong during short periods. Trititum glows less stronger than luminova but it glows consistently during long periods. What material do you find on guns for quick aiming in the night? Answer is tritum. What kind of material is used in military watches? Tritium.
I only wish there was a moderator who could ban the spammers once for all.
