But it's not the only difference. For some reason, 2594.52.00/2894.52.91 also have Caliber 3301 rather than 3303. It was my hope that this was to correct any bugs in the design or production process, so I contacted Omega about the difference. I received a response the other day, and it meshes with what I had been told before.
3300 - Does Not Exist. It is a number that was used in the development phase of the movement.
3301 - Automatic, Date, COSC, Standard Finishing/Decor
3303 - Automatic, Date, COSC, Luxury Finishing/Decor

Dear Omega,
Can you please tell me what the difference between Caliber 3303 and 3301 is? I've noticed that some new models get Caliber 3301, such as the Broad Arrow Racing Chronograph Ref. 3552.59.00 and the Seamaster Chronograph Ref. 2594.52.00. I would like to know why the change.
Thank you for your assistance.
Keith Downing

Dear Mr Downing,
We thank you for your e-mail and for your interest shown in our brand.
Calibres 3303 and 3301 are technically identical (same functions). The difference is that calibre 3303 is a more exclusive version, meaning that the finishing of the bridges and main plate of calibre 3303 are aesthetically more luxury (circle graining, wave finishing) than calibre 3301.
We hope to have been helpful to you and remain,
with kind regards,
OMEGA Ltd
