If you've ever wondered are the Swiss & USA Accutron Astronaut Crystals the same even though they have different part numbers?
Here we will be comparing the USA Accutron Astronaut 214HN crystal part number #1245...
And the Swiss Accutron Astronaut 214HN crystal part number #339...
I'll show a comparison between the two with a series of side by side shots of both crystal at different angles and as the angle decreases you call more easily see they are very different crystals no doubt!
The difference can be seen somewhat but the Swiss crystal sides are straighter further up and more rounded at the top which make them slightly taller than the USA crystal, Also the Swiss crystals seem to be thicker on the dome of the crystal. Look at the pictures carefully and you be the judge...
Here is a slideshow video of the same pictures if you prefer...
