I'm glad Omega is giving George Daniels his much deserved credit, but also hats off to Omega for putting this design into mass production. I love my Speedmaster Racing with the MC caliber 9900. It's never slowed down or sped up or stopped in the 6 months that I've owned it. I work around large magnetic fields also. This thing is a beast of a watch.

Great review of the Omega Co Axial - one of the most significant advances in horology, a brave move by Omega. As owners of three examples in this house we can testify to the accuracy, anti magnetism and quality you outline in the video. They are exceptional pieces.

Good choice!

I just bought the blue Seamaster 300 professional from 2018 and I'm in love with it!

It was the golden age of mechanical engineering. As a mechanical engineer, I am astonish by an all this ingeniousity of the past. Nowadays the mechanical design as simpler and we use a lot of electronic to replace and remove a lot of mechanical complexity. His book George Daniels Watchmaking is a real horlogical bible. Not really interesting by the big advertissement, but the model are cool.

All stars of Omega came together!

Fantastic presentation! Great insights into Omega’s coaxial movement, have the 2022 38 mm Connie and it’s the best I have had.

Fantastic video, and succint explanation of the Omega/Daniels industrial development of the revolution Co-Axial escapement. Love the iconic work of Dr George Daniels, and I have adored Omega for most of my life, especially through the lens of NASA/Space and 007! In late 2017 I purchased my very first Omega, the Constellation Globemaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer in blue dial and stainless steel case with matching bracelet, and a year after was gifted the official blue leather strap; the watch on leather strap is my most worn timepiece and favourite watch! It will remain a part of my personal collection for the rest of my life 😊

Thanks for the video! Omega is a great brand with great technology. I love my Seamaster 300m Professional.

@@zillsburyy1 Nice! The 2264.50.00 is an awesome watch from the 90's. I like the hour markers and non-skeletonized sword hands on it. I discovered Omega in the decade of your timepiece, when I was a teenager and it became the watch of James Bond in GoldenEye (1995). The Seamaster in that movie had a quartz movement too, like your 2264.50.00. Mine has the Co-Axial escapement and is reference number 212.30.41.20.01.003.

Truly incredible video. Loved the pride you could see from Petros. And the explanation on the friction savings and impulse distribution of the co-axial escapement vs the Swiss lever is greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for my Super Racing to arrive and would love to see this depth on the spirate system.

5:39 What is the specific name of this pocket watch? I would like to know more about it. Looks like an even more unusual escapement that the coaxial, but it's hard to tell what he's calling it because I think youtube captions is spelling it wrong.

The style of my GENEVE is what I like

I wish they would stop calling it the ' Swiss Lever'. Its correct name is the 'Sliding Lever' and just like the Coaxial escapement, is an English matchmakers (Thomas Mudge) invention. The Swiss simply adapted it as their own.

The only thing I hate about omega is that they tend to change the look of each generation for each model drastically. They should implement smaller changes between generations in order to maintain the value of their watches.

Then I watch this video and see debris or discolouration on watch hands and dial within this *_promotional_* video and even a sizeable chunk of debris at 15:40 on the dial underneath the shaft for the hands.

Not when it comes to antimagnetic properties. The Rolex Milgaus, which is touted as the brand choice for engineering, where resistance to magnetic fields can be most impactful, is rated to 1,000 gaus resistance. With Omega’s silicone hairspring technology almost all of their watches are rated at 15,000 gaus resistance.

Too little, too late. The new 9SA5 caliber is great, but it's still not as accurate (+5 / -3, vs Omega's 0 / +5), not as magnetic resistant (60 Gauss vs Omega's 15000) and not as affordable (GS starting around 10k vs Omega around 5k). Moreover, Omega's current gen Master Chronometers (i.e. 8900) are in production for 6 years already, so you can expect another evolution far sooner than GS, further extending their lead. Big love for both brands though!

As an owner of both Omega and GS, I have a soft spot for both, but you can't deny the facts, that Omega's 8* and 9* series movements outperform the GS' in many respects. What is so special about the new 9SA5? Antimagnetic? Yes, but barely. Co Axial escapement? Ok cool, but Omega is at it for 12 years already and have gone through several iterations. Full balance bridge, free sprung balance? Rolex and Omega are doing this for over a decade or two. Accuracy? Barely better than COSC. Oh it's well finished and has 36k BPH? Not enough to justify the price if you ask me and definitely not enough to stand up to Rolex or Omega.
