Manual Winds
Special Sauce!
I am seeing more and more watches with the Unitas movement being dressed up and sold as the the elite of all watches. As I mentioned in a previous post the watch movement is a starter kit set up. Asking $6000.00 plus for this is watch movement is crazy in my opinion. Check for the “special sauce ” models as I like to call them. Cheap movement with lots of boxes, papers and hype, it all equals expensive. The case maybe titanium etc. it just does not add up Caveat Emptor.
Unitas “6497″ Gut Shot
The Unitas movement is the equivalent of the stater kit in the watch industry. Most watchmakers cut their teeth on this movement and it is always a welcome site in a nice case, from a great company. Pictured is the Omega Railmaster with the sturdy Unitas popping out! Simple manual wind execution can be very nice, sub second is standard, but variations are made, also in many high and low end watches. KTTB
