In the Omega 9300 movement, the chronograph minute hand and chronograph hour hand on the dial are coaxial. However, in the chronograph gear transmission system, the chronograph minute wheel and the chronograph hour wheel are arranged longitudinally and parallel to each other, with a reduction gear located beside them. What is the transmission relationship between them?
I would like to know how the reduction gear in the Omega 9300 movement transmits power to the chronograph hour wheel. Does it pass through the intermediate chronograph minute wheel?
Perplexity has an answer too.
In the Omega Caliber 9300, the gear train for the chronograph uses a column wheel and vertical clutch system, differing from older lateral-clutch designs. The chronograph minute and hour hands are coaxial on the dial, but inside the movement the minute-recording wheel and hour-recording wheel are mounted on parallel axes connected through an intermediate reduction gear. When the chronograph is engaged, torque is transferred from the vertical clutch driving wheel to the minute counting wheel; the reduction gear then steps down this rotation to drive the hour counting wheel at one twelfth of the speed. Thus, the hour wheel’s motion is mechanically linked through the intermediate gearing—effectively “through” the minute-register system, but with its own reduction ratio determining the 12:1 hour/minute correspondence within the chronograph mechanism.

Hello, I would also like to ask that in the 9300 movement, it adopts a double-layer third wheel structure. The upper third wheel is connected to the chronograph second wheel, the vertical clutch, and the center wheel. Then, this center wheel drives the running second wheel. Since the center wheel rotates slowly, how does it drive the running second wheel? Or does the upper third wheel in the middle play a role in speed change?
