ladies 2500 not coaxial
thanks Dan
from my understanding, which is very novice, the ladies series in AT are not coaxial movement..
i can't seem to find much about the 2500 movement in the ladies watch
for this reason i thought the new 8500 was touted as being revolutionary for a small movementbut wonder if this is just marketing and what real difference it will make?
that being said i would rather be supporting new developments

Tough decision Aqua Terra 2500 or 8500 movement?
I am now in the difficult decison territory... & need HELP... Zoe found a 1967 seamaster chronograph, manual, she really liked the other day, but i was n't sure about it's authenticity, nor its practicality as an everyday 1st watch for her 25th birthday??...
NEW vs CURRENT
From what I've seen of the new Aqua Terra, I actually prefer the look of the current one! Whilst the new dial with its vertical texture is certainly intersting, I've always loved the simplicity of the Aqua Terra and the current model is perfect in that re...

Personally, I'd wait for the NEW Aqua Terra
I think the in house manufacture 8520/8521 to be in a league above the 2520. I think it's worth the wait, especially if she's got the watch but like the rest of us. I do think it will be quite a bit more expensive than the current AT, but I think it's wor...
getting tougher
its getting tougher as i just ordered the MOP ladies 2520... at a very good price have two days to pay or delay! tough call she doesn't have the bug anywhere near as bad as any of us! but then she doesn't have a watch atm I am REALLY torn on what to do......
The 25XX series movements do have a lot going for them, though...
I was faced with a similar dilemma... torn between going for a current Aqua Terra with the 2500 movement or wating until (sometime) in 2009 for the new model. What swung it for me was that the 2500 movement has been in production for several years now and...
Yes, but one should note that . . .
. . . the 8500 series movement was developed by the same crew that accumulated years of experience with the 2500 series, so I'm not overly concerned about developmental problems that a truly experimental movement would be prone to. I'm going to wait until...
I'll have to see what I can do about some photos of the AT
...But hopefully these will give you a flavour of the grey dialled DeVille... sadly not the best JPEGs, but I had them handy on my C drive. As for the 8500 calibre, I'm sure Omega will have tested it very thoroughly - I didn't mean to disparage their R&D ...
Thanks so much, Michael . . .
. . . this series of DeVilles was tastefully understated, and very much to my liking . . . warm regards, Art
I had a little photoshoot today...
These Images are rather better, I think... I love that grey dial - as you rightly say, so very understated. Getting along fine together.... The colour of the rose gold is tricky to capture in a photo, but here are a few attempts. The matt, bead-blasted si...
