Type of laser used for LEC?

Would any of you say what type of laser is used for the LEC?

This rare photograph taken inside the Crystal assembly room at the Rolex manufacturing facility clearly shows a technician about to etch a batch of LEC's.

Did you guys know the Budweiser Lager Beer has a crown logo trademark almost identical to the Rolex coronet ?The Omega brand logo is also engraved or enucleated in all its hesalite crystals Speedmasters and older G Seamasters from the late 90s
While I dont know what Rolex uses to create their LEC, I do know that the American "King of Beers" crown ala Rolex coronet and the Omega logo were created using a CO2 Galvo Laser engraving machine
