Omega Unveils Seamaster 15,000 Gauss, by far the Most Antimagnetic WatchsharetweetshareOmega, which pioneered the application of most recent materials and technologies in watchmaking, offers perhaps its most impressive technological accomplishment recently, the introduction of a wristwatch that's resistant to magnetic fields more than 15,000 gauss, an even far exceeding those of some other watch.The announcement with the prototype watch, a Seamaster Aqua Terra model named the Omega Seamaster >15,000 Gauss, took place for a press conference in the penthouse of brand new York City's Setai building. The presentation, which included videos and a practical test involving real magnets, was conducted by Omega's Stephen Urquhart and its particular vice-president and head of product, Jean-Claude Monachon, together with Michel Willemin, CEO with the research-and-development lab ASULAB, and Thierry Conus, director of development and research on the movement-maker ETA. (Omega, ASULAB, and ETA are properties of the Swatch Group.)Left to right: Thierry Conus, ETA director of R&D; Jean-Claude Monachon, Omega VP and head of developing the site; Stephen Urquhart, Omega president; Michel Willemin, CEO of ASULABIn his opening remarks, Urquhart explained that Swatch Group CEO Nicolas G. Hayek had assigned Omega the work of fabricating what he called "a totally non-magnetic watch." Magnetism, because so many watch lovers understand, can be a longstanding issue in watchmaking. Magnetic fields can readily disrupt a watch's movement, thus its timekeeping accuracy, and magnetic fields are more omnipresent within our everyday life than ever before, from smartphone cases to handbag closures to items as seemingly innocuous as refrigerator magnets. Omega's watchmakers collaborated while using researchers, metallurgists and engineers in their sister companies to make the unprecedented technology, which is embodied within a new movement, called Omega Co-axial Caliber 8508. replica breitling navitimer chronomat watches The effect, said Urquhart, is "not just a big breakthrough with the brand, however a big breakthrough with the watch industry."Monachon reminded the viewers of Omega's history of technical innovation, including such recent developments as the first co-axial escapement, developed using the late watchmaking legend Dr. George Daniels, which debuted in 1999; the initial usage of "Liquidmetal" technology inside a watch in '09; and up to date inventions like so-called Ceragold and Sedna gold. Also, he described Omega's history inside continuing development of antimagnetic timepieces, which began dating back 1957, using the Omega Railmaster. The Railmaster, Monachon revealed, was the primary watch to attain a resistance of 900 gauss, whereas most replica watches today are rated just to 60 to 80 gauss. Even notable exceptions, for instance Rolex's popular Milgauss model, that is rated to just one,000 gauss, don't approach this new replica rolex watch's volume of magnetic resistance.The Omega Seamaster >15, replica iwc grande complication watches 000 GaussOther replica watches, like IWC's Big Pilot, have addressed the problem of magnetism in past times by enclosing their movements inside protective inner cases that will limit the impact of magnetism about the watch's internal components. Based on Monachon, however rolex replica , this solution is definitely an imperfect one, because such cases cannot block magnetism past the variety of 1,000 gauss. Also, from a pleasing point of view, these cases block the view of the movement. Monachon asserted his colleagues, perhaps believing that creating an extra-thick inner case was Omega's strategy, told him, "Forget it. There is no way. The watch may be like a cobblestone."However, the process was obviously a very different one: As an alternative to attempt to improve upon the classical but flawed system of the inner case, Omega's team, which have the expert input of Willemin at ASULAB and Conus at ETA, devised a different solution: constructing a movement which uses various, selected non-ferrous components in order for the movement itself is immune to magnetic fields. Since the technical team brought up, Omega already had the basis for this type of invention available: Omega's in-house movements already include several important non-ferrous parts, including silicon balance springs and nickel phosphorous escapement wheels. Additional non-magnetic parts produced for Caliber 8508 have yet to be revealed; it can be expected that Omega can provide more info for your watch's official launch at Baselworld 2013 in April.Omega did announce at the press conference who's but not only expects the 1st commercial styles of the Seamaster >15,000 Gauss to be the market industry at the end of 2013, however that it offers to eventually to add in the revolutionary antimagnetic technology to all Omega movements produced in-house.Omega says the watch (prototype version pictured above) is going to be in the marketplace later in 2010 .sharetweetshare patek philippe swiss replica watches
