I really like power reserve indicators, I do think they're useful on automatic watches and even to some extent on manual wind. Am I correct to see in the current catalog that only the De Ville Prestige line has a power reserve indicator?

What other relatively recent references have one? I'm not as familiar with the catalog going back.

It seems like its just the Prestige and Tresor that have them, in automatic and manuel wind models.

To me they look to big, a more discrete indicator would look better to me, but I guess Omega want to show off their new functiones.

I like power indicators, but rarely are they well done ...

With that, Omega could really hit it out of the park if they put a power indicator on the back of the watch! That is, for sapphire-back watches, put the power indicator on the movement itself.

That would be such a baller move for an already unique movement with the co-ax watches.

I like the idea of putting it on the back of the watch, there are several Panerai's that do this that have caught my eye. If we're going to show power on the front, might as well be big?

@hen this might be a little large then

How about building the PI into the 9 o`clock marker, when empty the lume is hidden and vice versa?
