onzenuub 307 Posted October 23, 2009 We have had the chance to acquire a limited number of ETA 6498-2 in the ‘TOP’ version and so we are able to offer a special edition of the Pilot XLH. Collectors will be familiar with this superb, high quality movement. It is not only the magnificent decorated back, with Geneva stripes and blued screws, that makes this version so remarkable; the internal features are equally striking. Here are a few: · 21,600 beats per hour (BPH) · Incabloc shock protection · Glucydur balance wheel · Nivaflex NO barrel spring · Nivarox Anachron hair-spring · > 50 hours power reserve The TOP version with the higher BPH allows higher levels of accuracy compared with the standard 6498 movement. As we only have limited quantities of the 6498-2 TOP there will not be a continuous supply of this Pilot XLH TOP edition.

greg_r 81 Posted October 23, 2009 Nice, but expensive given how good some of the BP reps and homages are at around 1/10 of the price... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
