: Are chronograph movements more prone to shock
: than non-chronographs????
The 33xx is a very fragile movement, so no brutal, harsh and rough activities. The omega 1045, 1040, 1041, 861 and 321 and their lemania derivatives 2310, 1340, 1341, 1350, 5100, 5012, 5200 and 2320 are very robust and don't fear shocks and bad treatments. In non chronographs the inhouse movements of omega the vintage ones are far more robust than the eta based calibres. Some non chronograph movements are not made to harsh use like the jlc cal 889, the new ap calibre found in the ro,the patek calibres, the go calibres as well as the lange & sohne calibres.
