Well it wouldn't be 28,000, if it was that high it would be 28,800... But the 8806 runs at 25,200, so not sure where you got the information that it ran at a higher beat rate... Cheers, Al
I chose the 2800 number because I'd read that for the Daniels co axial system to work properly a 28000 BPH was needed. I don't know if this is actually so.
That's nice to know. Is there a reference article or a 2d source that shares this position. I've got a LE 1957 RAILMASTER on order and it would be nice to know that the co axial system was not there just for PR.
Omega co-axial watches run at two different beat rates - 25,200 and 28,800 - clearly this means they can run at something other than 28,800. Currently the only new models that run at 28,800 are the chronographs...
Just read a series of blogs on the watch u seek forum at omega caliber 8500 and the co axial movement. I had no idea that this subject was so hotly contested. It is most unlikely that a neophyte (like me) will arrive at the truth of the matter (claims and counter claims). I'll have to settle for a belief rather than proof positive.
