A few small parts today may still come from niche third-party Swiss suppliers.The movement of a watch is the engine inside of it which "makes it work." I understand that novices to the world of watches may not even be aware of what "watch movement" means. Watch movements are generally classified as mechanical or quartz (electronic), and are, in many ways, what draw people to purchase or desire a particular timepiece.

This stainless version of the Orion comes in two sizes – 33 mm by 8.54 mm and 38 mm by 8.86 mm. The dial is a galvanized “November” gray that has a very fine eggshell-like texture thanks to diamond polishing. The hands are the simple stick, but this time gold-plated – along with eleven gold-plated, stamped hour-indices. The seconds subdial still has the circular grain to it, which along with the overall concavity of the Orion’s dial and case, giv

Why an Omega?

It's arrived! Daytona 116509 black dial!
My grail watch has landed!!! Sorry to be so excited about it but it's my most expensive watch yet and for it is so special!I wanted a chronograph to go into my collection and I got a Tudor Fast rider Blackshield but the moment I got it I regretted it. That started a thought process in my mind, I ended up giving up my 116622 blue along with the fastrider (plus cash) and ended up with imo one of the top if not the top chronograph watch!Sorry about the crap quality photo!
