·How lovely would it have been if they swapped the positions of the Power Reserve and Date and kept it symmetrical, as well as using a date wheel to match the dial?
I'm yet to see a Prestige worn by anyone in person; modern Constellations are fairly common in Asia (especially in gold), so what demographic/locale would the Prestige appeal to?

I guess my attempt at a joke fell flat. I was referring to the fact the indices are gold, which I assume is what the poster thought was fauxtina. Of course, I’m assuming that yellow material is gold.

·This is the part of the line that Tudor created the 1926 series to compete with.

Cal. 2500's don't have silicon balance springs.
EDIT - I take that back - there is now a 2500E version that does appear to use a silicon balance spring....

Logically both calibers on these new/refreshed models (2500 and 2627 for the PR indicator model) should be the most up to date configuration of those calibers right?

Good question. I looked up a few of these on the Extranet...
The one top left corner of the first image in the first post, looks like 424.20.40.20.02.004 - it doesn't identify the movement at all other than saying it's a 2500.
Did the same for the green dialed one you isolated above - 424.23.40.20.10.001 - same thing - it doesn't identify the movement other than a generic statement that it's a 2500 series.
So I went at this from another way around. I looked up the 2500E, and then clicked on the selection that tells me what watches that caliber is used in...."no results found"...
The tech guide showing the 2500E came out a little less than a year ago (copy I have I downloaded last December just before Xmas), so possibly this is too new to have been put into watches yet, due to the pandemic or something. Who knows.
Cheers, Al

·Al, I assume that Omega is keeping the 2500 in production and continuing to update it primarily because it has a thinner profile than the 8000 and 9000 series calibers and continues to go into many of Omega’s dressier offerings with smaller, thinner cases than some of the sports models. Would that be correct?
According to a Raynald interview i saw last year he said that eventually the ENTIRE Omega catalogue will be moved to METAS movements.
