Γιώργο δεν είμαι ωρολογοποιός αλλά υπάρχουν κι εγώ δεν ξέρω πόσες παραλλαγές της 1185
Φυσικά έχεις δίκιο ότι η 1185 αυτή καθεαυτή είναι μία, αλλά δεν είναι αυτή που φορά η Ω και η Μπλανπέν.

So what are some examples of fine timepieces using the 1180/1181/1185/1186 you ask? The list is vast, but I will try and give at least a few well known examples. And on that note, one can't start that list without offering the most controversial example at the masthead. The Omega Caliber's 33xx seen in many of their chronographs including the Speedmaster Broad Arrow.
And the Planet Ocean Chronograph.
But many sources often misstate the Omega movements as being based on the Piguet 1185. It even appears as such in certain editions of the Wristwatch Annual. It is simply incorrect to say so. These movements are modified Piguet ebauches and are similar column wheel chronograph designs, just not the 1185. The movements are actually Piguet 1285 ebauches which are manufactured specifically for Omega (which is part of Swatch of course) in three basic versions. The three versions are renamed by Omega as the 3301 (standard finish - for some closed caseback models), the 3303 (highly finished - Speedmaster Broad Arrow), and the 3313 (highly finished with coaxial escapement - Planet Ocean Chronograph). The main differences you will note is that the 1285 movements are both larger and thicker, they have a 28.8K beat rate as opposed to 21.6K, and the small seconds and 12 hour registers are reversed. While both are tricompax layouts, the Omega versions have seconds at 9 and the original Piguet ebauches have seconds at 6. Here is an example basic, non-coaxial Omega Caliber 3303 found in many Speedy and Deville timepieces.
In both cases, the date window can appear in a variety of positions depending on the manufactory and model. Also of note is the Omega Caliber 3612 which is used in the Deville Coaxial Rattrapante and the Broad Arrow Rattrapante. Remember I told you about Piguet and the Rattrapante specialization in the early days? These movements are based on the Piguet 1286 ebauche, which is Piguets Omega-only version of the 1186 automatic movement again made special for Omega with the higher beat, the coaxial escapement, and seconds at 9. Hopefully, this clears up any misconceptions about this popular misprint that has taken hold regarding Omega and the Piguet 1185 and it's variants.
Moving right along, some other fine timepieces bearing the 1185 and variants include the original Breguet Marine Chronograph, renamed Caliber 576.
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph, renamed Caliber 1137, and modified to include a Big Date complication at 12.
The Blanpain Fifty Fathoms Chronograph, renamed Caliber F185 and based on the 1186 Rattrapante (flyback) ebauche.
And finally, you guessed it, The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph, renamed Caliber 2385.
Please note, the 1185 ebauche appears only in the RO chronos, NOT the Royal Oak Offshore models which have a "standard" 12/9/6 chrono layout (not tricompax) and seconds at 12. The ROO movements are built from JLC ebauches.
Again, this is not an exhaustive list as there are just too many to cite. There are certainly more timepieces using these column wheel chronographs than the Lemania 2310 and variants. The 1185 and variants are no doubt second only to the 7750 and variants in popularity and total volume of timepieces using them. But for some unknown reason still remain less known and more mysterious than the 2310 to collectors, which is why I thought it would be good to do this article. Certainly the popularity of the 1185 in higher end timepieces and the 7750 in middle of the road creations can be at least partially credited to the fact that automatic watches are far more popular than handwinding ones. But the divide is otherwise hard to explain, except that the Lemania handwinds have been around since the 40's maybe so they have had more time to become well known to all. Whatever the reason, personally I love them both. Because as I said in the previous article on Lemania and Venus, I'm just a sucker for column wheel chronographs...:wub:
