I believe its a modified ETA 2892-A2

In Response To: Co-axial Chronometer ()

I believe the Caliber 2202 has an ETA base 2892-A2, with the co axial escapement(which is Omega proprietary technology). Some argue that the ETA 2892-A2 is every bit as good as the 3135 series Rolex calibers.

My Planet ocean with Caliber 2500, which is a modified 2892-A2 with co axial escapement, keeps time at <1 second a day variance. Its extremely accurate.

Enjoy your new watch. Its a beautiful time piece. For me anyway, the Modified ETa movements only make watches more affordable, as surely any watch powered by the new Omega In house caliber 8500 will be much more expensive than the Eta based ones.
