New Swiss Army SSC Models

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had seen these new models from Swiss Army out in the wild yet:

They look great - Swiss Army is definitely moving upscale. I was also wondering if anyone knew what movement they were using - particularly the large chronos. I would guess the 7750 - since I belive that is whats used on their Ambassador XL models - but they don't specifcy on their website (wonder why?).

Thanks!

Just an update to answer my own question:

The SSC Chrono arrived at a local jeweler this week, and it looks awesome. The chrono uses the ETA Valgranges movement, and it looks great through the see-through case back.

The one problem I had with the watch is that it's HUGE. MUCH bigger than the airboss chrono. Possibility the largest, heaviest watch I've ever had on my wrist. It's a Breitling Superocean X 2. I actually could not pull my standard dress shirt sleeve over the SSC. I mean, it is ridiculously big.

Not sure if I can live with a watch that big, but it looks great. And I think I still want one. Hmmmm...
