The Omega freshly-redesigned Constellation collection welcomes a new star – the Constellation Baguette.

The unique and luxurious Omega Constellation Baguette watch produces a powerful impression – the dial of the lady’s watch displays a one-of-a-kind supernova structure emanating from the diamond Constellation star presented on a mother-of-pearl background at 6 o’clock. The dazzling watch sparkles with 459 Top Wesselton diamonds, with a total weight of about 30 carats.

The dial boasts 146 baguette and trapeze diamonds that are set using a sophisticated “invisible” mounting technique, implying you will see no trace of the 18K white gold used for the watch’s case between the diamonds.

The Omega Constellation Baguette watch is not simply a breathtaking diamond timepiece for ladies – it accommodates the OMEGA Calibre 8421, a Co-Axial escapement automatic movement. The groundbreaking technology of the brand was initially appeared in 1999, having greatly improved the way fine mechanical timepieces are created.

The movement incorporates the Co-Axial escapement reducing the amount of sliding friction in the watch, thus eliminating the need for lubrication and giving an advantage of longer service intervals and improved timekeeping precision. The Si 14 silicon balance spring strengthens shock-resistance, as well as resistance to the effects of outside disturbances.

The Omega master jewelers have cut every one of the watch’s 459 diamonds specifically for the timepiece, so every stone is unique and, if necessary, the replacement process will require much time. Any new gem will have to be custom-prepared to match the color, clarity, cut and carat size of the diamonds it is surrounded by.

The Omega Constellation Baguette watch,  is the most elegant and precious members of the Constellation collection, representing a fine union of refined design and superior watchmaking.

People can now discover true quality with the release of the latest creation by Omega, the new Milestone 1941 Watch, which will definitely be regarded as a collectible from the part of the Omega watch connoisseurs and as a piece of art from the part of Omega’s enthusiasts. Omega has done a lot for the tradition of watch making artistry, and even nowadays, it seems that this brand is unstoppable. With every new timepiece introduced on the market, Omega gains more and more respect from its competitive brands in the watch manufacturing industry that have eventually come to acknowledge the power of this brand.

The Omega legendary Co-Axial escapement joined the world of watchmaking in 1999. The groundbreaking technology was invented by the famous watchmaker George Daniels. It was destined to become the first practical mechanical watch escapement that followed the Swiss lever escapement invented more than 150 years ago.

The escapement is necessary for maintaining the balance oscillations, representing the regulating organ of a timepiece. Its mechanical efficiency must be as high as possible, implying it must absorb as little energy as possible while performing its functions. Once considered to be the most efficient, the lever escapement is able to pass on just 30 percent of the received energy. The rest of the energy is lost because of the inertia of the masses put in motion, friction and shocks.

But modern watchmaking re-examined the matter and the Co-Axial escapement was born. The Co-Axial escapement reduces friction and uses available energy in a more efficient way, thus providing more stability of the precision timekeeping for a considerably longer period of time. As a result, the owner of a mechanical watch equipped with a Co-Axial escapement movement has the watch served less frequently. The Co-Axial needs less oil, implying fewer disturbances caused by lubrication in an escapement.

Ten years ago, the mechanically complex Co-Axial escapement was meant only for high-end watches. Nowadays, all Omega mechanical watches are fitted with this technology. It was presented in the Calibre 2500, with more refinements made over time. The Omega Co-Axial escapement movement incorporated such complications as a chronograph in 2003, an annual calendar in 2008 and a GMT chronograph in 2009.

In 2007, Omega presented the in-house Co-Axial 8500 Calibre – the brand joined back the circle of manufactures. In 2008, Omega unveiled a model developed specially for smaller watches – it was fitted into the Seamaster Aqua Terra collection created for women. The lady’s watches were also destined to become the first to boast an extra innovation – the Si 14 silicon balance spring to offer even more enhanced accuracy.

The 10th anniversary of the Omega Co-Axial escapement is marked by a special worldwide campaign, following the successful “Watchmakers Wanted“, featuring George Clooney wearing a white lab coat and a loupe.

The new Omega campaign demonstrates an impressive group of the brand’s ambassadors, including Buzz Aldrin, Cindy Crawford, George Clooney, Sergio Garcia, Michael Phelps, Nicole Kidman, Michael Schumacher and Zhang Ziyi –holding or wearing a loupe. Each advert highlights a particular aspect of the Co-Axial escapement.

Buzz Aldrin, the first astronaut who wore an Omega legendary Speedmaster watch on the moon, is featured along with the slogan, “It’s not rocket science. But it’s close.”

Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher tells us that “Faster isn’t always better,” a slogan meant to reflect the movement’s solidity and consistently utmost performance.

Swimmer Michael Phelps is associated with split-seconds timekeeping, while supermodel Cindy Crawford is a symbol of fashion.

With the Co-Axial escapement representing a turning point for the Omega Company, the new campaign emphasizes the quality of Omega’s Co-Axial movements in a truly innovative and eye-catching way.

The famous Omega De Ville collection welcomes a new timepiece – the De Ville 4-Counters Co-Axial Chronograph watch. The timepiece is expected to be available for Valentine’s Day 2010 as a fine gift for him. The De Ville watch demonstrates highly attractive classical design and technical excellence.

The new Omega watch catches the glance by its four-counter chronograph readout on the dial.

The sophisticated 41 mm case, the concave bezel, and the refined bracelet are sculptured in finely brushed stainless steel. The bracelet incorporates four slender stainless steel links with a brilliant high polish. The bracelet is fitted with a triple-folding clasp with the signature Omega symbol.

The timepiece is 100-meter water-resistant.

The dark metallic grey with red accents dial fascinates by its complex construction. The part of the dial with the four balck sub-dials is slightly below the major dial that is completed with finely beveled indices and hands. You will also notice two windows, one positioned below the applied Omega watch logo and the other at 6 o’clock. The windows display the day of the week and date, respectively. The dial is protected by a subtly curved scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

The chronograph mechanism can record elapsed minutes, hours, and even days, and small seconds, the latter with help of a continuously running skeletonized dagger-like hand.

The Omega De Ville 4-Counters Counters Co-Axial Chronograph watch accommodates the self-winding Omega Calibre 3890. The sophisticated mechanical movement incorporates the brand’s legendary Co-Axial Escapement for minimizes friction and long-term accuracy. The movement is also fitted with a freely sprung balance for optimized isochronism and greater shock-resistance.

With the balance frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement gives an advantage of a 52-hour power reserve. The chronograph records elapsed time to the nearest 1/8th second.

The Calibre 3890 boasts fine decorative elements, including the bridges and central winding mass with Cotes-de-Geneve patterns and the mainplate with circular graining.
