With all due respect to the industry at large, and even given my predilection for Omega, my sense is this is the most significant technical development with practical application in a long time.  Here's hoping the Railmaster line will be revived soon!

Hi Echi The really cool thing about the way Omega is approaching it . It not a Case within a case solution. The movement is constructed with materials that are not affected by magnetic fields. I still think its stunning. Good Hunting Bill Sohne
