There was some feeling that the Unitas was the movt., even though I had said it wasn't in my original post.  I had done a lot of research before shelling out that kind of money and found all this: 

There is NO UNITAS movt that can fit into a 36mm case!


Here are the specs I found on the Unitas 6498 and the Pesseux 7001 movts.  The last numbers are the diameter and height measurements, which settle the matter, imho.
 
Peseux 7001


Manual Winding
Mechanical movement with Swiss lever escapement:  Indication of power reserve, hours, minutes, seconds, unbreakable Nivarox mainspring, Nivaflex hairspring, Glucydur balance, Incabloc shock-absorber, fine adjustment device, power-reserve -44 hours

                    d:23.3; h:4.5



Unitas 6497/8

Manual Winding
Mechanical pocket watch movement with Swiss lever escapement: Indication of hours, minutes and small seconds (at 0600 or 0900), unbreakable Nivarox mainspring, Nivaflex hairspring, Glucydur balance, Incabloc shock-absorber, with/without fine adjustment device, power-reserve -55 hours

            d:36.6; h:4.5

The new Marcello C classic is using ETA2824-2 which is a thicker & less expensive movt.

And, until recently, all Nomos models were based on the Peseux 7001 movt.

Even Blancpain's movt is a modified Peseux 7001.

I thought everybody knew that a Unitas will not fit in a 39mm case......it's almost 37mm wide all by itself.
