Omega: A Pioneering and Sporting Spirit
Omega has created a legacy in time keeping through its pioneering and sporting spirit as well as big name endorsements. The watch company has been responsible for many well known sporting events including 24 years of timekeeping for the Olympics. In addition, Omega has been involved in every manned Gemini and Apollo mission. These organizations look to Omega because of its state-of-the-art technology and precision.
There are many innovations over the years from Omega that have changed the watch industry ever since. Below are just a few of the advances the watchmaker is known for:
- Liquid Metal - The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal is the first watch to mix ceramics and alloy to create a watch that "will retain its appearance forever."
- Silicon Balance Spring - The balance spring is like the heart beat of the watch, maintaining precision and consistency. Silicon is a non magnetic material and is shock resistant allowing it to stay accurate for up to four years.
- Co-Axial Escapement - While how this technically works is like reading a foreign language, the benefits of this technology can be easily understood. The Co-Axial escapement was an innovation designed to replace the old Swiss Lever escapement in order to reduce maintenance, and conserve energy. This ensures more stable precision for longer.
