The Story About The Omega Legend Movement

In the past two and a half centuries, has never been the "heart" of the mechanical watch - the escapement significant improvement. Dr. George Daniel, the inventor and master clocks, invented in the 1980s and carried forward by the Omega coaxial escapement is an exception.

In the early 1980s, inventor and master clocks Dr.George Daniels, has invented a clever design of the new escapement. This coaxial escapement system was only installed in the prototype-like table for the independent inventor. In the past two and a half centuries, almost no the watchmaker mechanical watch the "heart" - escapement significant improvement. Daniel's desire to table fans can have this revolutionary inventions.
Omega is the only brands that recognize the future potential of the coaxial escapement system, and set up a task force to make the industrial production. In 1999, Omega introduced the device 2500 of the coaxial escapement movement, much of the concern of the entire mechanical watch industry. Omega coaxial escapement device in the watch movement is the escapement of the first two and a half centuries great application performance, this system can reduce the friction between the system components of the escapement and energy consumption, and with the free sprung balance wheel to maintain the accuracy and stability of the movement for a long time operation, so watch almost no lubrication. Is equipped with coaxial escapement Omega 2500 movement has also become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century, the mechanical watch sector.

In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of the mechanical watch, it makes the watch-conditioning - a sustainable balance wheel to swing. Omega coaxial escapement device to reduce the energy transfer to the friction between the other components, basically eliminating the maintenance needs of the movement, the most important thing is to ensure the accuracy of the watch to maintain long-term stability of high sex. George Daniel, also known as Omega coaxial escapement is the following since the 18th century, Thomas Mudge invented the lever escapement, the first two and a half centuries of practical new escapement.

 

In the decade after the launch of the first Omega coaxial movement, the brand enjoyed extraordinary position in the watchmaking field escapement successfully applied into each watch collection. After the new mechanical watch, Omega produced by each one will be equipped with this technology. In recent years, Omega still continuing on the technical improvement and upgrade to new heights. In 2005, Omega introduced the 3313 coaxial chronograph movement series, however, the most exciting news was born two years later. In 2007, Omega grand launch with coaxial escapement of the 8500 movement, called the Omega Co longitudinal technological innovation a key step on the road. This is the first time around Omega coaxial escapement device designed for the entire movement, and each of the 202 components for a new movement by the Omega design and production. At the same time, the production process of the movement, the Omega optimized to meet the needs of mass production. This is also a strong declaration of the return of the Omega of this company named by its self-produced movement in the origin of the brand.

 

In fact, the "Omega" brand name comes from the serial production of its own production in 1890 a product called "Omega" movement. 8500 coaxial movement marks the birth of the Omega return to their own designs and manufactures unique movement of the Swiss watch manufacturers as well. At the same time, the coaxial movement was also deemed the eternal model of the movement, to become the world's great masterpieces of mechanical watch manufacturing.
In 2008, Omega is designed especially for small watches coaxial movement of the 8520/8521 debut and the new Aqua Terra Ladies Watch series. This will prove that the culmination of the escapement, still works perfect in a 30 mm camera body. The same year, the Omega has taken another solid pace for the promoting of industry-leading manufacturer of mechanical watches: launched with a complex function of the instantaneous jump calendar, configure Si14 silicon hairspring balance wheel of the 8601/8611 coaxial movement. You know, using the 8601/8611 coaxial Omega watch movement, just a manual adjustment on March 1 of each year, calendar display rapidly converted in the night time, the last day of the month to the next month's first day The jump is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Still a long way, to explore the endless, the OMEGA technical improvements will be sustained. The brand plans to 8500 movement, gradually replacing the previously used various types of movement, and as the future standard movement. Began 10 years ago, technological innovation will continue, coaxial to the longitudinal device inventor, master watchmaker George Daniels prophecy - "coaxial escapement will make people in the 21st century continue to maintain the mechanical wrist Table enthusiasm, indeed being achieved.
