Omega is award winner prior to Games

  • Posted on January 14, 2010 at 11:44 am

Omega, official timekeeper of the Winter Olympics, is one of several Swiss watch brands named the most fashionable.

With just one month to go before the start of the Winter Olympics, luxury watch brand Omega is at the heart of the preparations.

As official timekeeper of the Games, Omega may be expecting its already significant profile to be raised further when the event kicks off on February 12th.

But it will not be the first time this year it has tasted success, after a number of premium Swiss luxury watch brands – including Omega watches - were been named among the top ten most fashionable by United Brands.

Tag Heuer came out on top of the poll, with the Swiss manufacturer’s redesign of the classic Silverstone and the ongoing success of the Monaco V4 possible factors behind its triumph.

Baume et Mercier, Gucci, Omega and Movado followed in sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth positions respectively.

Such a strong result for Swiss brands in the fashion category could be a further signal of the return of luxury timepieces to many of the latest and most popular looks.

One item that a Tag Heuer watch could combine especially well with is a range of sunglasses launched by the brand and designed by tennis ace Maria Sharapova.ADNFCR-2664-ID-19550602-ADNFCR

Omega Legendary Co-Axial Escapement

  • Posted on December 28, 2009 at 10:26 am

The Omega legendary Co-Axial escapement joined the world of watchmaking in 1999. The groundbreaking technology was invented by the famous watchmaker George Daniels. It was destined to become the first practical mechanical watch escapement that followed the Swiss lever escapement invented more than 150 years ago.

The escapement is necessary for maintaining the balance oscillations, representing the regulating organ of a timepiece. Its mechanical efficiency must be as high as possible, implying it must absorb as little energy as possible while performing its functions. Once considered to be the most efficient, the lever escapement is able to pass on just 30 percent of the received energy. The rest of the energy is lost because of the inertia of the masses put in motion, friction and shocks.

 

But modern watchmaking re-examined the matter and the Co-Axial escapement was born. The Co-Axial escapement reduces friction and uses available energy in a more efficient way, thus providing more stability of the precision timekeeping for a considerably longer period of time. As a result, the owner of a mechanical watch equipped with a Co-Axial escapement movement has the watch served less frequently. The Co-Axial needs less oil, implying fewer disturbances caused by lubrication in an escapement.

Ten years ago, the mechanically complex Co-Axial escapement was meant only for high-end watches. Nowadays, all Omega mechanical watches are fitted with this technology. It was presented in the Calibre 2500, with more refinements made over time. The Omega Co-Axial escapement movement incorporated such complications as a chronograph in 2003, an annual calendar in 2008 and a GMT chronograph in 2009.

 

In 2007, Omega watches presented the in-house Co-Axial 8500 Calibre – the brand joined back the circle of manufactures. In 2008, Omega unveiled a model developed specially for smaller watches – it was fitted into the Seamaster Aqua Terra collection created for women. The lady’s watches were also destined to become the first to boast an extra innovation – the Si 14 silicon balance spring to offer even more enhanced accuracy.

The 10th anniversary of the Omega Co-Axial escapement is marked by a special worldwide campaign, following the successful “Watchmakers Wanted“, featuring George Clooney wearing a white lab coat and a loupe.

The new Omega campaign demonstrates an impressive group of the brand’s ambassadors, including Buzz Aldrin, Cindy Crawford, George Clooney, Sergio Garcia, Michael Phelps, Nicole Kidman, Michael Schumacher and Zhang Ziyi –holding or wearing a loupe. Each advert highlights a particular aspect of the Co-Axial escapement.

 

Buzz Aldrin, the first astronaut who wore an Omega  watch on the moon, is featured along with the slogan, “It’s not rocket science. But it’s close.”

Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher tells us that “Faster isn’t always better,” a slogan meant to reflect the movement’s solidity and consistently utmost performance.

Swimmer Michael Phelps is associated with split-seconds timekeeping, while supermodel Cindy Crawford is a symbol of fashion.

With the Co-Axial escapement representing a turning point for the Omega Company, the new campaign emphasizes the quality of Omega’s Co-Axial movements in a truly innovative and eye-catching way.

The New Omega Milestone 1941 Watch

  • Posted on December 17, 2009 at 9:49 am

Omega Watches has added a new piece to its Museum Collection; the Milestone 1941 Collector’s Piece watch.  Taken directly from the company’s website this “museum was created in December 1983 to illustrate and perpetuate the historical highlights of the famous Swiss brand through the collection, preservation, maintenance, protection and exhibition of objects, documents and accounts related to the company and its activities. Some of the most remarkable items found among its collection are the 4,000 Omega watches, movement, clocks, instruments, tools, photos, engravings, posters, signs, awards and certificates.” milestone-1941-watch-museum-collection-omega

The museum is currently closed until April 2010 for renovations.

Each year Omega chooses a classic watch that was designed more than fifty years ago, and recreates it adding a new design and updated features, hence the new “Milestone 1941”. Originally this watch was made in 1938 and enjoyed much success among high-ranking military officers. The new version employs Omega’s famous co-axial technology and is crafted from high end materials such as 18K white gold.

The case measures 38mm and the dial is a varnished black color that comes with two sub dials: a 30-minute chronograph counter and small seconds counter at 3 and 9 o’clock respectively.
The watch runs on the Omega Calibre 3202 movement – an exclusive, self-winding one. The hour numerals and indexes are coated in Super-LumiNova while the hours and minutes are indicated by classic white skeleton hands, also coated with Super-LumiNova, rendering the dial perfectly legible under all circumstances.  The watch comes with a black alligator leather strap and matching 18K white gold buckle.

Omega Creates Seamaster Diver 300m “Vancouver 2010″ Limited Edition

  • Posted on November 27, 2009 at 9:51 am

The renowned Omega brand is launching exceptional limited series timepieces to mark the start of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, which is just 100 days away.

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m “Vancouver 2010” Limited Edition will be released in two stainless steel case interpretations, measuring 41mm and 36.25 mm in diameter. Every version will be issued in a limited number of 2010 individually numbered items. The distinctive flair of every unit is the brand’s co-Axial caliber 2500, a chronometer-certified movement.

The Seamaster Diver 300m “Vancouver 2010” Limited Edition watches possess all the key characteristics of timekeepers, created intentionally for pro-divers. They are equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel, as well as a helium-escape valve. Furthermore, the timepieces are water-resistant to 300 meters.

The case-back of the Omega watches is marked with the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games logo. It exposes “Ilanaak”, which was chosen to be the symbol of the Games. This symbol is represented by the figures constructed from piled stones, the Canadian First Nations people used to greet foreigners with. The logo’s name, “Ilanaak”, is borrowed from the Iniktitut language, meaning “friend”. The case-back is etched with the Limited Edition number (0000/2010).

It is the 24th time the watchmaking house Omega has been appointed as Official Olympic Timekeeper. For the first time the company was asked to serve as an Official Timekeeper in 1932, at Los Angeles Olympic Games.

The release of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m “Vancouver 2010” Limited Edition watches is definitely the best possible way for the brand to express its commitment to the Olympic Movement.

These spectacular timepieces, reviewed by Watches.InfoNIAC.com, demonstrate a white lacquered dial, as well as a red-anodized aluminum bezel featuring silver indexes and numbers.

Playing with color contrasts, the models evoke the Canadian flag, which reveals red maple leaf against a stark white background. The case of every model embraces a white dial, which is suggestive of snow and ice. Both of them are undoubtedly an important part of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Another special feature of the Omega watches is presented by the colored Olympic rings, exposed on the counterweight of the chronograph seconds hand that is red-tipped and rhodium-finished. The dial of every item is equipped with hands and indexes provided with white Super-LumiNova coating for a high level of visibility in darkness.
