Yes and no
The bridges and such are basically the same. Albeit, the running seconds on this is more a 3 starred propeller versus a single second hand at 10. The main plate is scalloped as you can see instead of the rehaut/chapter ring on the normal openworked pieces. The way the movement has been fixed to the monoblock sapphire is different too.. so is the construction..The ends of the screws you see on the bezel are screws on the back that hold the movement and second piece of sapphire to the upper case. It's an engineering and design marvel.. Love how the scallops let you read the time. .
Love this!
Is the openworked dial-side view and movement the same as that in the steel version?
Yes and no

Truly excellent…
each of those nuanced differences that you pointed out make a huge difference! When I looked at it, I felt there were differences (besides the obvious sapphire) that elevated this in my eyes, but I couldn’t tell what. But as you highlighted each component...
Looks fantastic, congrats!
I also like what Hublot has done already, and Zenith is doing with sapphire cases as well.
Yes.
I’ve actually got a Hublot sapphire tourbillon coming as well… the one in question: ...
