Top Ten Technically Important Electronic Watches
Until the 1950s, the wristwatch world was powered by springs. It wasn't even until the 50s that automatic winding watches started to become popular, meaning that most watches were not only powered by springs but also one's ability to wind that spring manually. It was human-powered timekeeping. Winding one's watch was part of daily routine, as was adjusting it regularly to keep it accurate. But 1957 heralded change and the beginnings of a revolution that would fully materialize in the 1970s and 80s, and it all started with the futuristic-sounding, electric watch.Pre-quartz watch electric timekeeping technology was crude by today's standards, but rapid improvements helped make the battery-powered watch not only the dominate way people tell time today (don't ruin it for mechanical watch lovers by telling them), but also set the stage for wearable computers and a whole universe of watches that managed to do things no spring could ever hope to accomplish.1957:?The Electric WatchA horologica

Omega 300 1972 (still glows?)
Hi i am looking this watch over and it looks almost new! The lume glows bright and the movement looks untouched and spotless. Can any one see if there is something up or is it just a great watch from 72.Thanks

Omega 9300 movement modification??
Does anyone know if there is any consideration at Omega to reduce the size of the 9300 movement to fit inside a 42 or 43.5mm planet ocean case? And/or possibly reducing the thickness to that of the new GMT movement?

How many 5370p are produced per year?
If someone can bring here some light, i will appreciate...Best,M

GMT-Master II glare: 116710LN vs 16710
I'm curious if any owners of both can comment on the older watch vs the newer one. After wearing a blue dial DJ for many years, I added a 116710LN. It seems to me to be plagued by glare much more than my old watch. I know the crystal/AR topic has been discussed a lot, and that's certainly part of it. It also seems like reflection off the perimeter of the indices contributes.Has anyone else experienced this? And are the 5-digit watches, better, worse, or the same on this front? Thanks.
