Pioneering Instruments
In the 160 years since its foundation Omega watches has established itself as one of the world's great watch brands. As part of the Swatch group, Omega has access to the latest research and development and is the industry's most adventurous pioneer, constantly increasing the precision and reliability of its timekeeping instruments leading to groundbreaking innovations in watch making and sports timekeeping and history.
40 Years Since Moonwalk
The recent celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Omega Speedmaster recalls the exemplary expertise that led to its launch in 1957 and the extraordinary adventure that culminated in its becoming the Moon Watch 40 years ago in 1969: there is nothing else like it. Today the Omega Speedmaster Professional testifies to the audacity and courage that has taken astronauts to the Moon and to the reliability and precision of the watch that helped bring them back.
Olympian Timekeeping
At the dawn of the third millennium, Omega presents an innovation that redefines the entire theory of mechanical watchmaking. The escapement is the heart of every mechanical watch and the basic theory behind it has remained unchanged for over 200 years. Today, Omega breaks the mould with a totally new design, the Co-Axial escapement, developed in conjunction with master watchmaker George Daniels.
The new design is based on double Co-Axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time.
Revolutionary Escapement
More proof that Omega's pioneering spirit is alive and well comes in the shape of Hour Vision, the elegant new De Ville range of prestige mechanical timepieces based on the revolutionary Omega calibre 8500/8501. The exclusive in-house movement at the heart of the new collection features an enhanced version of the Omega exclusive Co-Axial escapement that guarantees greater precision and reliability over time.
The Omega watch collection is truly out of this world and available now at Ernest Jones.
