Notes

These watches are all officially certified C.O.S.C. chronometers. The coaxial escapement, one of the major horological inventions of the 20th century, eliminates practically all friction between the pallet wheel and the pallets, which had long been a source of lubrication problems in mechanical watches. The result is a movement with a longer lifetime and increased accuracy.
