So my question is this... the Omega Cal 8500 is probably the spiritual successor to the Cal 5xx series of full rotor movements, but why not make, just for some models like the Constellation Pie-Pan re-issue they previewed recently, a Cal 8300, Co-Axial bumper automatic, based on the same movement but with a redesigned winding mechanism based on a bi-directional bumper. Given how many 8500 movement watches use sapphire displaybacks, and the level of finishing detail they're applying to their movements, it would be a very interesting and unique feature to have on a modern watch, especially one with an element of deep nostalgia and history to it like the Constellation remake.
What do you guys think?
