When was Omega 2500d introduced?

The Omega Caliber 2500 was developed by Omega in the 1990s. In 1993, Omega purchased the patent for the Co-Axial escapement from English master watchmaker and inventor George Daniels.

What is Omega chronometer?

OMEGA Master Chronometer METAS labs take the watches and have their movements tested for a number of things in order to reach a minimum precision of 0/+5 seconds per day. The first of these tests gauges how it reacts to being exposed to magnetic fields of 1.5 Tesla / 15,000 gauss while in two different positions.

When did Omega start using coaxial?

1999
The Omega Calibre 2500 was the first mechanical movement with the Co-axial escapement to be put to commercial production. It was launched in the market in 1999 in the Omega De Ville.

How does Omega’s co-axial movement compare to the 1120?

It appears Omega is performing a balancing act between complicating it’s movement on one hand and reducing it’s operating rate to 25,200 on the other. Time will tell whether the co-axial movement is endeared by it’s owners as much as the 1120 especially when they find out how much the service charge will cost for the more complicated co-axial.

What is the Omega caliber 1120?

The Omega caliber 1120 is a movement from Omega that is, like so many other movements from Omega’s history, based on an ETA movement. More specifically, the ETA 2892-A2. Omega has then modified the caliber to give it better performance and to make it more visually pleasing.
