Super quick thread, as I'm very busy at work!

-Omega 8500 calibre movement - It's based on the ETA 2892, but as a member on another forum said;

"I consider the 2500 semi- in house, due to the fact that it is exclusive, and does not even share the same dimensions of its 2892-A2 base, and the 'heart' of the movement is completely unique, referring to the escapement and the Omega free sprung balance. Also, the completely original 25,200 rate. Also the entire rotor hub is significantly smaller, enabling more efficient winding, but still retaining the ball-bearing support."

-Transparant Case backeek



Looks like the bezel is ceramic?

WANT! Anyone know a price for this yet? Anyone else tempted to trade in their current PO's?

Bezel is ceramic, a la the LiquidMetal LE.
I do like it, but the size puts me off, looks gorgeous though.
