Re: questions about caliber

In Response To: questions about caliber ()

The caliber's number is not really important in fact : it doesn't say anything, except for the watchmaker. It's just like when you buy beans at the supermarket : you don't look at the tin number...that's the same here !
Though, this CoAxial mechanism is supposed to be much more precise than the normal one. I say supposed because I got many problems with my DeVille CoAxial PowerReserve. This escapement, omega says, reduces interventions of reparators...
Just remember one thing : the CoAxial is more expensive, but both are COSC certified, so that means the precision is exactly the same...furthermore, if you need to have a CoAxial repaired, no one else than Omega may do it, because the mechanism is far too complicated for a normal watch reparator.
