omega speedmaster legend watch between the Longio tourbillon

I would say that there is one major difference omega speedmaster legend watch between the Longio tourbillon and its European counterparts - hand finishing. The Europeans have long prided themselves in taking long periods of time to delicately hand decorate and finish watch movement parts. This involves taking the pieces straight from the expensive machines that make them and polishing and finishing them - more often than not under a microscope. This is why Swiss movements for example, appear as beautiful as they do. Such finishing also assists with quality and finding defective parts. Longio doesn't have that same type of look in the movement. Though you need to be a real connoisseur (like myself I guess) to notice it. In fact, for most people, looking at the Telamon's tourbillon with the naked eye reveals "just a cool looking tourbillon." Most of the differences aren't apparent until you get really close or check things out under magnification.

This should at least bestow confidence that they know what they are doing, and that they do it all themselves.Let's chat about the movement, as this is going to be an important component of people actually buying the omega seamaster watch. Longio uses an automatic tourbillon movement that they make. It has 19 jewels, beats at 21,600bph, and has a power reserve of 65 hours when fully wound. Functions include the time with the one minute tourbillon acting as the subsidiary seconds dial. Along with the automatic winding, you can hand wind the movement. I can't speak to much of the movement's decoration and finish aside from what I see in the open tourbillon window. A large segment of the lower part of the dial has been wisely used to display the tourbillon. You see the complication moving around just as you would expect. It is no less satisfying to omega constellation watch in operation that other similar tourbillons. There is a thin bridge over the tourbillon carriage and blued screws to enhance the look.
