In the past two and a half centuries, has never been on the mechanical watch the "heart" - escapement been significant improvements. The inventor and master clocks, Dr. George Daniel invented in the 1980s, and was carried forward Omega coaxial escapement is an exception.
Mechanical watch escapement is the heart, it makes the pendulum swing round to continue. The Omega coaxial escapement device reduces the energy transfer to the friction between the other components, the basic movement to remove the need for maintenance, the most important is to ensure the accuracy of the watch to maintain a very high long-term stability sex.
Early 80s of last century, inventors and master clocks, Dr. George Daniel (Dr.George Daniels) invented a clever new design of escapement. This coaxial escapement was only to be installed in the independent inventor's prototype-like table. In the past two and a half centuries, almost no division of the mechanical watch watch the "heart" - escapement been significant improvements. Daniel's desire to have all table fans are the results of this revolutionary invention.
Omega is the only recognized coaxial escapement future potential of the brand, and set up a task force to its industrial production. In 1999, Omega introduced the system equipped with a coaxial escapement movement of 2500, much concern about the mechanical watch industry. Watch movement in the Omega coaxial escapement device system is two and a half centuries of the first great new application performance escapement, and this system can reduce the escapement and the friction between components energy consumption, and with no card balance wheel hairspring degree to maintain the accuracy of the movement operation time and stability, so watch almost no lubrication. Is, the carrying coaxial escapement Omega 2500 movement has become a 20th century invention of mechanical watches, one of the important sector.
In short, mechanical watch escapement is the heart, it makes the watch of conditioning - to sustain swinging pendulum wheel. The Omega coaxial escapement device reduces the energy transfer to the friction between the other components, the basic movement to remove the need for maintenance, the most important is to ensure the accuracy of the watch to maintain a very high long-term stability sex. Therefore, Daniel George, also known as Omega coaxial escapement is the second in the 18th century Tuomasimu (Thomas Mudge) leveraged escapement invented since the first two and a half century of practical new type of escapement.
Omega coaxial movement in the first decade after its launch, the brand will enjoy this extraordinary area in the tab position of the escapement device successfully applied to every watch line into. After Omega produced the new mechanical watch every one will be equipped with this technology. In recent years, Omega is still continuing improvement of this technology and its upgrading to a new level. In 2005, Omega introduced the 3313 series coaxial movement time, however, good news is most people born after two years. In 2007, Omega with coaxial escapement grand launch of the 8500 movement system, called Omega coaxial escapement technological innovation a key step on the road. This is the first time around Omega coaxial escapement device designed for the entire movement, and the 202 components are for each of the new movement designed by Omega and produced. At the same time, Omega on the movement of the production process is optimized to meet production needs. This is also a strong declaration of its self-produced movement Omega named after the company's return in the brand origin.
In fact, the "Omega," the brand name comes from its own 1890 production of a named "Omega" of the serial production of movement. Coaxial Omega 8500 Omega marks the birth of the movement to re-return to design and produce unique movement of the Swiss watch manufacturer list. Meanwhile, the coaxial movement was also seen as a model of the eternal movement, as the world's great masterpieces made mechanical watch.
In 2008, Omega watches designed specifically for the small coaxial movement 8520/8521 debut, and was used for the new Aqua Terra Lady series. This will prove to the world of this pinnacle of the escapement, the 30 mm camera body can still function perfectly. In the same year, Omega has taken to promote the industry's top production mechanical watch made another solid steps: introduction of a complex function with instantaneous jump calendar, configuration Si14 silicon hairspring balance wheel of the 8601/8611 coaxial movement. You know, using 8601/8611 coaxial movement of the Omega watch, only on March 1 of each year to conduct a manual adjustment can be, the calendar shows the rapid change in the night time, the last day of each month to the first day of next month The jump is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Is still a long way to explore the endless, Omega's technical improvements will be sustained. Brand plans to 8500 based movement, gradually replace the previously used various types of movement, and as a series of standards for future movement. Began 10 years ago, technological innovation will continue, while the coaxial escapement device inventor, George Daniel's prophecy master watch - "coaxial escapement in the 21st century will be people who continue to maintain the mechanical wrist Table of passion ", which is being achieved.
