The possible reason of the 33xx failures
Hi
While being on blancpain site yesterday, I noticed an interesting note concerning their chronograph movements "Blancpain’s self-winding chronographs are among the smallest and the slimmest chronograph movements in the world owing to a totally new construction concept: The coupling-clutch wheel also functions as a brake; no additional coupling wheel or blocker is required. And only one finger drives the minute and hour counter.". If the Omega 33xx based on the frederic piguet 1285 ES De Luxe shares this technology, it can maybe explain why there were resetting chrono problems encoutered with this movement.
Just a thought of why the 33xx failures happen.
regards and hopes this helps.
