Brief Introduction

For over 160 years, Omega has been behind an impressive set of achievements. Omega landed on the moon in the 1960's, registered hundreds of watch patents (including worlds first in movements) and has been the official timer of 24 Olympic Games since 1932.

Today, Omega upholds that tradition of excellence and innovation; with elegant designs cherished and coveted around the world.

Omega Co-Axial Escapement

At the dawn of the third millennium, Omega presents an innovation that redefines the entire theory of mechanical watchmaking.

The escapement is the heart of every mechanical watch and the basic theory behind it has remained unchanged for over 200 years. Today, Omega breaks the mould with a totally new design, the Co-Axial escapement, developed in conjuction with master watchmaker George Daniels.

The new design is based on double Co-Axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time.
