Simple and elegant are to be describe of this great design. The Co Aixial escapement can function with literally no lubrication whatsoever, thereby eliminating the shortcomings of a traditional lever escapement.It utilizes the use of radial friction rather than sliding friction at the impulse surfaces therefore reducing friction. This result in longer service intervals and greater accuracy.
the Omega Hour Vision Hour calendar,has a power reserve of 55 hours. In addition to the annual calendar functions that only requires date adjustments once a year(during every 1st of march), its date change is instant. The calibre 8611 movement features the new "Si 14" silicon balance spring that is virtually non magnetic mounted on an Omega free sprung balance. Omega improved the movement further with anti wear DLC coated twin barrels and zirconium slide bearings coupled to its winding mechanism.The new Aqua Terra annual calendar has a diameter of 43mm and he
ight of 14.5mm. The top sapphire crystal has anti reflective coating on both sides. At the back has also a sapphire crystal that displayed the calibre 8611 .Luxury finishing is applied with monochrome rhodium plated on rotor and bridges (eighteen carat red gold bridges an rotor for the bi color) in Geneva waves in arabesque pattern.The screw ,barrels and balance wheels are blackened, that offers a nice contrast to the metal polish of the bridges.The Aqua Terra
annual calendar is the next step for the 8601 calibre watch revolution that has been taking place at Omega. Robust engineering coupled with stable precision is the basis of this fine movement. In its early life the 8601 movement had been garnering account from its owners with regards to outstanding accuracy and real life timing precision. The simplistic yet magnificently crafted timepiece is a testament to Omega reputation for timeless reliability at its price point.
