Friends,
Let’s take a breath from BaselWorld and all the
novelties…
You remember I told you that inside the 1968 Olimpico
is a movement based on an Excelsior Park caliber?
Not long ago I had the chance to take a side by side
shot.
The resemblance is there for sure, but the characters
are very different!
I find the Olimpico much more appealing, the
Pulsation/Tachymeter scale adding more refined look.
While the Excelsior Park has a more “tool” character
with its smaller sub-dials and minute track almost touching the inside of the
case…
Inside is the same movement, Excelsior Park P40 / GP
07-3.
Please come join us in the WristScan forum – this week’s
theme; “Change of seasons”!
Best
Blomman

Yes, here I find the GP more appealing. The dial makes a big difference. The only difference, it seems. But more appealing. Best, Nicolas
Similar, but not the same

Both are lovely in their own way. What's surprising how closely similar they are: case, shape of hands etc. I think the Olimpico has slightly the edge with a bit more vintage charme. CC
Thanks for sharing

the Excelsior Park for me, please, EP is one of these rare chronograph manufacturers, not an etablisseur. Rarer and not as celebrated as of the latter category. Call it reverse snobbery... :-) An EP movement in an EP watch. I also prefer the definition of...
