tks very much yr feedback, do u also know how thick the movement is? I am curious as to how much 'air' is in the case, seeing the movement is more or less the size of the seahorse 'coin' on the back, could the watch have done with being 2-3 mm thinner, or is the inner iron case rather thick?

: The movement itself is only 25.6mm in diameter,
: so it is considerably smaller than the case
: size. ETA manufactures the 2500C movements
: for Omega using the 2892-A2 base movement.

: smaller cases. The 2500C movement is used in
: watches as small as the 36mm Aqua Terras all

: if you want to see the movement in person,
: just head to a local AD and take a look
: through an Aqua Terra's sapphire display
: back.

: Incabloc system, which is described in the
