Omega Replica New Watch Certification: What Makes It Different?

admin

Omega and METAS, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology, held a joint press conference in Geneva to announce a new collaboration. Starting in 2015, Omega watches that are badged “Master Co-Axial” will be officially certified by METAS, using a new testing system. But what does this mean for Cheap Replica Watches, and for watch certification systems in general? Let’s take a look.


At the December Press Conference, held at the Cité du Temps in Geneva, Swatch Group CEO Nick Hayek was joined by Cheap Omega Replica President Stephen Urquhart and Christian Bock, the director of METAS, to discuss the new system.


The new certification represents a higher standard of accuracy. Omega watches will now be certified for not just consistent timekeeping but also for antimagnetism and water resistance. METAS, which describes itself as “the federal centre of competence for all issues related to measurement and for measuring equipment and measuring procedures,” will become the impartial regulating body to ensure that Omega’s manufacturing standards meet the brand’s promises. Going forward, all Omega Replica Watches calibers will be tested to meet certain standards. Each movement must continue to function when exposed to magnetic fields greater than 15,000 Gauss. Each finished watch must also continue to function when exposed to magnetic fields greater than 15,000 Gauss. The watch must keep consistent time, between 0 and +5 seconds/day, when tested at different temperatures and in different positions. Finally, each watch must be tested to ensure it achieves its stated power reserve and water resistance.


Omega’s move to develop a new certification system with METAS is significant for several reasons. For the last several years, Omega has been at the lead in developing new measures to protect watches from magnetic fields. With the Omega Seamaster Replica Watches Aqua Terra >15,000 Gauss, the brand has produced a watch movement that can keep time consistently even after exposure to some of the most intense magnetic fields a person is likely to encounter.


To pass the COSC test a watch movement must maintain accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds per day; however, a movement’s timekeeping can be affected during the casing-up process or when the rotor is affixed on an automatic – and all of this occurs after the COSC test has been completed. Since the new Omega Replica testing will be performed on both the movement and on the finished watch – and since it has a narrower allowance, not permitting the watch to lose seconds, only to gain – it should provide a higher standard than COSC. Omega will continue to certify its chronometers with COSC over the coming years, but the number of movements receiving COSC certification will decrease as more and more Master Co-Axial calibers receive the new METAS certification.


The owner of a certified Master Co-Axial Omega will be able to log onto a site using the watch’s warranty card. There, the specific results of the individual watch, as well as the testing parameters, will be readily available. At the press conference in December, Hayek and Urquhart were encouraging about the fact that any brand can contract with METAS for an impartial certification system. While Omega Replica Watches has provided its particular standards for the Master Co-Axial movements, other brands could follow suit. Hayek expressed hopes that this development may lead to more widespread innovation. “This would benefit the entire industry – not only in Switzerland but in China and Japan and in other countries with a history of innovative watchmaking,” Hayek said.

Fratello Classics: The Most Exciting Omega Replica Watches

admin

This post is a part of my series of Omega articles, zooming in on some of the most interesting and iconic models that Omega Replica Watches manufactured, which began last week with a list of Omega watches you can find for under $1,000. In this week’s post, I attempt to answer the question of what is the most exciting Omega watch ever — in my own humble opinion, that is.


It isn’t probably surprising that the most exciting Omega watch to me is a Speedmaster. However, it might surprise you that it is not one of the first Speedmaster watches, the ones with Lemania-based caliber 321 column-wheel chronograph movements. These are the Speedmaster watches considered to be the most collectible for real purists. Although I do own a few of these vintage Omega Replica myself, the one that really excites me is a more recent model. It is a watch from 1969, with the Lemania-based caliber 861 movement, in a gold case. In 1969, after the Apollo 11 moon landing, Omega decided to produce a commemorative model in all gold — gold case and bracelet and even a gold dial. Instead of the black bezel with tachymeter scale, Omega installed a burgundy-colored bezel. This model goes by the reference BA 145.022 and has a total production of only 1,014 pieces.


Of these 1,014 pieces, the first 30 were individually numbered and engraved with the names of their receivers. These first 30 watches were presented to VIPs during a gala dinner at the Hotel Warwick in Houston on November 25th, 1969. Number 1 was offered to U.S. President Richard Nixon, who declined the watch. Number two was for his Vice President Spiro Agnew, who also declined it.Both of these watches are in the Omega museum in Bienne, Switzerland. The other 28 gold Speedmaster Professional models were offered to the astronauts who were present at the dinner. Later on, Cheap Omega Replica did a few more individually numbered and engraved versions of this watch for astronauts from the Apollo 14, 15, 16 and 17 missions.
The remaining watches from that original 1,014-piece production run were made available to the public. These models have, of course, no specific name engraved on the caseback. The models that were offered to the VIPs have the following text engraved: “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.” All other pieces have the “The First Watch Worn On The Moon” horizontally engraved and “Apollo XI 1969” engraved below that.


To me, this is the most exciting Cheap Replica Watches there is, because it was meant as a gift for the achievements of these astronauts. They already had been using the stainless steel Speedmaster Professionals during their missions — which they officially needed to return after each mission, as the watches were considered NASA equipment — and then received an impressive gold version of that very same watch. You will be able to find one of these 1,014 pieces during auctions and at watch dealers, but chances are very small you will come across an actual astronaut’s Omega Replica Watches. Astronaut Ken Mattingly’s gold Speedmaster Pro was offered during the OmegaMania auction in 2007, and is now in the possession of the Omega museum in Bienne. The “regular” gold models can be found for approximately $15,000 – $18,000 in good shape, but most of them come without the special “Moonrock” box in which they were presented. I have been lucky enough to try on this watch a couple of times at the museum, and at the home of an Omega Speedmaster collector that I meet every now and then. Even though I’m not sure whether I am ready for a gold watch, this watch is my Holy Grail of Omega watches.

Monochrome Essentials: Reviewing the Omega Replica Watches Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M

admin

In 2005 Omega launched its Planet Ocean collection, a second collection of dive watches, positioned above its Seamaster Professional collection and it has been a huge success since Day One. The Seamaster Planet Ocean is available in two sizes, 42-mm and 45.5-mm, and in 2011 Cheap Omega Replica introduced the Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph 9300, which we at Monochrome Watches reviewed and photographed for you here. Two years later, in 2013, Omega introduced the long-expected Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT. We’re going to review the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GMT Goodplanet for you today.


The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT, is available in the familiar color codes of the Planet Ocean, with a black dial and silver/white markers and hands. Only the tip of the GMT hand and the word “GMT” on the dial are in orange. There’s also a special model with a navy-blue dial and bezel that is created as a tribute to the partnership between Omega and the Omega Replica Watches. And that’s the version that we’re looking at today. We received the version on the blue rubber strap with single folding clasp and enjoyed wearing it. But let’s first start with a tiny bit of history…


History：
The design of the Seamaster Planet Ocean, which debuted in 2005, recalls that of the first Seamaster 300 meter models launched in 1957. In 2013, Omega finally introduced a GMT version of the Seamaster PO, and it’s equipped with Omega Replica in-house Caliber 8605 with GMT time-zone function. In our review of the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Chrono, we concluded that its well-known competitor, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea, had some serious competition. Now we’re curious to find out whether the Rolex GMT-Master II also gets a true competitor with this Omega Seamaster PO GMT.


Overall appearance：
Sporty, robust, modern, functional, stylish, elegant — just a few words to describe the new Seamaster PO GMT that I heard from people when I asked them to capture the watch in a word. I also feel that all these words are applicable, along with some other words like, for instance, “comfortable.” While the other words to describe the Cheap Replica Watches Seamaster PO GMT will depend on the situation, it was comfortable in all situations. While comfort is not a quality that will be readily apparent on the surface, it’s a very important characteristic of this superb-all-around watch.


Features：
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GMT GoodPlanet packs a lot of interesting and very handy features. First of all, there’s the nice-sized 43.5-mm stainless steel case that is very nicely finished. There’s the in-house movement with co-axial escapement, there’s the 60 hours of power reserve when fully wound and, finally, there’s the very useful GMT function! All these features will be described, but first we need to explain a bit more about the GMT function.
Dial / hands：
In total, there are nine variations of the Replica Watches; five with a black dial and four with a navy blue dial. The blue dial is an indication for either the titanium version or for the one we reviewed, the GoodPlanet version that underlines the partnership between Omega and the GoodPlanet Foundation. The GoodPlanet version is the only one with orange numerals on the rotating bezel and an orange 24-hour GMT hand.


Movement：
This is the part that most often intrigues the team here at the Monochrome headquarters. And in this case the movement is very interesting, and we’ve covered it on several occasions before. So please check our previous articles and I’ll be short and sweet with the description today. Since Omega Replica Watches is going to introduce its new Master Co-Axial movements into the entire collection, we would not be surprised if this Seamaster PO GMT will be equipped with Omega’s 100% anti-magnetic movement soon.
