Re: It's based on Cal 1120
In Response To: It's based on Cal 1120 ()

: and for reasons stated in my last post, it
: should outlast cal 1120.

Should be more consistent as there is less dependence on the consistency of lubrication (less or no lubrication required for coaxial escapement).

My new constellation with the calibre 2500 is currently 4sec fast since setting it on 2nd Jan (relative to atomic NNTP server), which is very, very good.

The escapement is new and there is little 'real world' data on it's durability and reliabilty. As it is based on the 1120 calibre, there shouldn't be many causes for concern.
