Omega co-axial price differential

[xcentric]

any ideas why the co-axial movement is so much more in the Speedmaster body (~£5k c.f. £2k for standard movement) whereas the Planet Oceans with that same movement are ~£2.5k? seems daft for the movement to be so much more in one watch than another - anyone shed any light on this?

The Speedmaster is a chronograph for a start, plus Speedy Pros were never fitted with the 3313 movement, Pros went straight into the 9300 (in-house) series. Broad Arrows etc had the 3313 though.

Planet Ocean Chronographs have had the modified Piguet (331X) and the 9300; the cheap ones you're seeing are the older type. The subdials are closer together because the movememt is tiny
