Rookie Question

Hey...

I have a question regarding movement caliber. I have been on Omega's website, and can't seem to find a substantial explanation as to why different models have different movement calibers. Are they simply referring to manual, auto, and quartz? Are the numbers arranged along a spectrum from good to bad?

I suppose this started with Omega's description of a seamaster model that I like (Aqua Terra Railmaster)... it apparently has high accuracy for long periods, and a "meticulous finish." How does this differ from other models/movement calibers?

Anyway... I have probably used up my alotted space in the forum for one day. Thanks to all who replied to my earlier post regarding costco.
