Well there is a saying if its not broke why fix it,but all the mens watches are based on the Cal 3135.Now thats been in production and has not changed since the late 1980s.The Cal 3186 is slightly different with the parachrom balance spring,and ball bearing rotor,but all the main working are still Cal 3135 with added GMT complication.
