Hmmmm, is that a piece of plastic I see in there acting as a lever? If so, I'm a bit surprised at that.

That piece of polymer was deemed better for "friction" purposes sometimes in the late 60's or early 70's.
The display back model has a metal part in place.

We gotta prioritize. I know that shootings and robberies are important and require a quick response, but a perfectly good chocolate frosted getting stale is just a damn shame and calls for a lights and sirens response to save it in time ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

You can also see this as a form of preventive self medication. We all know there's a good chance to get dizzy if your sugar level drops below a certain level. We must commend you for taking these sensible actions ![]() ![]()

If they have plastic in a solid caseback and metal in a display back... it is nothing more than a cost cutting measure, IMHO. If some material is deemed preferable, then the movement should have the same parts across the line, displayback or not.

Beautiful Pictures.
A short quote from one of C Maddox's pieces on the 861 movement.
Quote: The movement was plated in Pink gold to begin with, then yellow-gold from 1992, then rhodium-plated in 1996. In 1996 the movement was renamed and re-launched as the c.1861 and is still manufactured today. A single part was changed from a metal component to a nylon-like synthetic part which wears better and is self-lubricating in all calibres except the display back model, with it the original metal part is retained because Omega didn't want display-back owners seeing the synthetic part. End quote. |
