Yes it affects all the highly anti-magnetic calibers.

Thanks Al. Could you please confirm this also effects the 8806 with the single barrel? Is it too soon to expect within the caliber product lifecycle lessons learned downstream being incoporated upstream for new movement designs?

Isn't the spring silicon based and the wheel titanium.

But what is the staff made of?

Archer, do you know what the balance staff material is on these watches?

The balance staffs are made of Nivagauss. I don't know what the composition of this material is.

It seems that this material is also relatively new: see for example https://www.luxos.com/news/watches/4708-magnetic-news-from-omega .
