Re: PO Movement

In Response To: Re: PO Movement ()

tks for feedback. guess with the glass probably being abt 4mmm thick and the soft iron casing (which i guess must hv a certain thickness and also be around the sides and under the dial) i understand the PO has, it doesn't actually leave much empty space..

: 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
