... or why would one need movements bridges from titanium? Have the trditional brass bridges ever suffered from structural damage from a shock that the rest of the watch had survived without harm? An other ceramic material that is harder than the hitherto hardest ceramic case, if making the case some millimeters smaller would be much more effective in preventing hits and bumps to it? Reducing the co-axial escapement's energy hunger to achieve some 70 to 100 hours of power reserve would be more of an achievement, I think.

I saw this one drop a few days ago. I'll start with the bad - $22,200 and 45.5mm. Too expensive and too big for me. But the good - this grey color scheme is outstanding. "Silicon Nitrade" case, titanium bezel ring and crowns, titanium dial, and a few oran...
Exactly my thoughts.

I just don’t understand Omega nowadays…
Maybe this is an R&D playground…but who are their target market? Why create such niche products like this and the ultra light $50k Aqua Terra for Golfers or Olympic Pole Vault Champions? The majority of customers is just looking at sub $10k, used to b...
My hunch is that its low weight . . .
. . . will sway the initial opinion of a few skeptics. The Ploprof is, on paper, way too large for comfort on my wrist, but the titanium versions are amenable. Might be at the Omega boutique in LA today; photos to follow if plans pan out. Art
Thank you for bringing this one to attention.
As you said, it is a very nice and also interesting watch, in terms of composition. But the asking price is ...
