It’s a bit like Omega 321 Vs 861, there are good reasons they redesigned the movement for cam operation but the older chronographs just feel nicer when you actuate the button.

It may not have been the best example, but I tried a vintage 321 Speedmaster recently and I didn’t feel the pusher actuation was that much nicer than a 1861, if at all.

Whereas the coaxial 9906 (column wheel / vertical clutch) in the new ‘57 felt amazing to me.

I’ve clearly got more sensitive fingers. I’ll tell thee something though, my 7733 is horrible to use :)

It might just have been the example at hand! And could certainly have been a pretty tired movement.

Or a bitsa with an 861 in it… 👀
