DESCRIPTION

• The Speedmaster OMEGA Co-Axial Chronograph
  
  Since it was launched more than half a century ago, the OMEGA Speedmaster has defined the classic chronograph. It is rugged and reliable and has a timeless design. And since the day in July 1969 that it was first worn on the lunar surface, it has been known by its nickname, the Moonwatch.
  
  This year, an innovative new member of the family is being introduced, equipped with the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300/9301 – the Speedmaster OMEGA Co-Axial Chronograph. While it shares some core elements with the original Speedmaster Professional – the black dial, the Moonwatch-style hands and the familiar black tachymeter on the bezel – it also has some distinguishing features that will attract an even wider audience to the world’s favouri te chronograph.
  
  The Speedmaster OMEGA Co-Axial Chronograph featured here has a 44.25 mm case in the classic stainless steel that has always been associated with the Speedmaster Professional. This model has a bevelled black dial with white transferred elements and varnished white hands. It is offered on a black leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet.
  
  The OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300/9301 is described in the previous section of this press kit but some of its details are worth mentioning here. With its Co-Axial escapement and free sprungbalance, the chronograph will deliver outstanding reliability over a long period of time.

The latter, with anti-reflective treatment, reveals perfectly the beauty of the movement.
  
  The Speedmaster OMEGA Co-Axial Chronograph is also offered in stunning 18 Ct orange go ld with a black ceramic dial and in elegant 950 platinum with a black enamel dial, both with 18 Ct gold applied indexes and hands.
  
  The Speedmaster OMEGA Co-Axial Chronograph is a welcome addition to the great Speedmaster family. With its choice of case metals, its innovative movement and its legendary family name, it will find an enthusiastic following among Speedmaster fans who want to combine the impressive legacy of an iconic chronograph with the best series-produced mechanical watch movement in the world.

  OMEGA's Co-Axial escapement
  
  OMEGA's launch of the Co-Axial escapement in 1999 put the horological world on notice. It was the first practical new watch escapement to be invented in some 250 years. The components in OMEGA's Co-Axial escapement differ considerably from those of the Swiss lever escapement which had long been the industry’s mainstay: it consists of a balance roller carrying a pallet and an impulse pin, an anchor with three pallets, and a three-level coaxial escapement wheel comprising the co-axial wheel, the co-axial pinion and the transmission pinion, with which it is connected to the intermediary wheel and the gear train.
  
  The Co-Axial advantages
  
  The main advantages of this design become clear when it is compared with the Swiss lever escapement.
  
  With any watch escapement, energy must be transmitted to the oscillator; this energy maintains the oscillator’s frequency. The impulses in a Swiss lever escapement involve the wheel tooth sliding along the inclined surface of the pallet. This sliding movement generates considerable friction, making optimal lubrication vital if the escapement is to function correctly.

The smaller contact surfaces and the pushing motion, as opposed to the lever escapement’s sliding motion, significantly reduce the friction in the escapement; thus there is less wear and tear on the lubrication, resulting in longer service intervals.

As a result, the Co-Axial escapement benefits from greater mechanical efficiency which ensures more stable precision.
  
  The Co-Axial escapement and the free sprung-balance
  
  The OMEGA Co-Axial escapement is used in conjunction with a free sprung-balance. The timepiece’s rate can be adjusted by modifying the moment of inertia of the balance wheel instead of changing the active length of the hairspring via the index. This adjustment is made with gold micro screws embedded in the circular balance wheel. This construction with the Co-Axial escapement and the free sprung-balance improves shock resistance and avoids disturbances.
  
  While certain benefits of the OMEGA Co-Axial escapement will be readily apparent, others take more time to appreciate, including longer service intervals and an outstanding chronometric performance which will be maintained over a longer period of time.
  
  A chronograph for the 21st century
  
  The Co-Axial calibre 9300/9301 carries on OMEGA's commitment to the innovative technology it first introduced in 1999. With its column-wheel chronograph function, its outstanding reliability and a four-year warranty, it fulfils the promise made by English watchmaker George Daniels, the inventor of the Co-Axial escapement. He said that Co-Axial technology would "extend the popularity of mechanical watches into the 21st century and beyond."
