: I have read through your excellent site but
: could not find any info on the shock
: resistance of the SMP models
The specifics I have are under the "Omega FAQ," since they apply to more than just the Seamaster. But that info only covers the quartz models.
I inquired about the automatic models and was told:
Any watch of our production is tested against shocks according to the Swiss Norms NHIS 91-10 / ISO 1413.
They are sending me the documents. I'll post the details in the FAQ when I get them.
: SMP Chrono) although Jeff Hubet mentioned
: they might have 'incabloc', do you have any
: knowledge of this and how it would compare
: with the 'kif' shock protection in the Rolex
: sports models?
The Incabloc and Kif shock resistance systems are both excellent. Both are sufficiently refined that any differences between the two are pretty insignificant.
