    Desmond Guilfoyle (@mondodec) describes the movement:
    The Calibre 343 “luxury Finish” chronometer movement, of which only 5000 pieces were produced, was used in the second production of case 2499 Centenary models as well as Seamaster and Automatic chronometers. Calibre 343 was the first 28.10 to feature what is commonly described as an RG regulator, an import from the famous 30 T2 RG hand wound chronometer series. This regulator, combined with a particular regime of cosmetic finish, higher levels of functional finish, topmost quality control on parts used and adjustment to chronometer standard forms the basis of the ‘Luxury Finish’ definition.
