I suspect this "new" movement is just a simplified 6S37 auto chrono movement (or 6S74 manual winding chrono) which is an almost 20 years old movement.

I can see many similarities in the basic architecture - perhaps this truly is a derivation / simplification of the old chrono movement. I have had one since new as well. Here’s the imaginary brief handed to a team: Take away time measuring Take away autom...
