RO and ROO status of next generation intros.

So I didn’t realize the 15500 had the new movement. Will this replace the thinner jumbos or will that model get an updated movement as well? Looks like some of the chronos also have updated movements. So where is the RO line in terms of updates? Seems like the ROO line now is fully updated with the new 43, 42 and divers?

Consensus appears to be that the Jumbo/15202 successor will get a new movement, presumably thinner and smaller than the 4302 in the 15500. Otherwise the two models would be pretty redundant. Consolidating them into e.g. a 40mm in-between-thickness model would be an interesting curveball.

Steel ROCs will get the new flyback chrono movement from the 26239OR, and a healthy bump in price.

A bump in price for the chronos and a bump in thickness!

Otherwise, a good looking movement and amazing watch.

Only the 26239OR chronos have the new movement. Just a matter of time before they come to the SS chronos as well, as many have speculated. No question it’ll come with a healthy price increase.

Interesting that the new RO and ROO chronos share the same movement. But the new 15500 and diver don’t yet they are both new. Why wouldn’t they also share the same movement and what is the difference?
