Good day.
In the 42mm variety, is it the movement that is the primary difference between the newer 8500 and 2500 versions?

Thanks in advance

The bezel is ceramic as well, and the display case back.

Minute hands are different as well. 2500 has a smaller arrow on the minute hand than the hour hand. 8500 both arrows same size.

8500 bracelet pins are solid sliding in out with small screws on both sides

2500 uses traditional push pin
