I don't think that there will be a 2500D movement. Omega is introducing a new, in-house movement early next year. I'm guessing that Omega will gradually replace the ETA movements in its product lines with the new movement, although it will probably be years before the ETA movements are completely phased out. Let's hope that Omega's new movement is durable and reliable.
