Random and sporatic, just like the rest of the book. To show you how spotty and unbalanced the content is, look at the table of contents for the first half of the book (pages 1-105):

  • Introduction

  • The 'Wandering' Crown

  • Pilot's Wristwatches

  • Wristwatch With Chronograph

  • From Water-protected to Water-tight

  • The Diver's Watch--Seamaster

  • Seamaster Professional Chronograph

  • Timing Contests and Omega

  • The Chronometer Wristwatch Constellation

  • Omega and the Phases of the Moon Indication

  • The Wristalarm Memomatic

  • Beautiful and Precious Cases

    • The second half of the book (pages 106-223) are the technical sections, covering various movements used up through the 1970's.
