: 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? I know a
: lot of questions, but what can u do, guess i
: am hooked.
If memory serves me correctly, the movement is 3.9mm thick. The ETA 2892-A2 base movement is 3.6mm thick, but the co-axial escapement requires an extra 0.3mm. I don't know the specifications on the case thickness, etc., but keep in mind that diver's watches need to be thicker than regular watches to attain their depth rating. Thicker cases are needed to withstand the pressure of 600 meters of water (in the case of the Planet Ocean). If you pick up a Planet Ocean and then pick up a 300 meter rated Seamaster, you'll notice how much heavier the Planet Ocean is.
Cheers,
John
