Serving up one of the biggest haute horlogerie surprises in 2022, Omega ventures far beyond its usual wheelhouse to give us one of the most brazenly ambitious and technically unimpeachable new inventions of the year. The magnificent Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 1932 digs deep into Omega's long history and touches on some of the Manufacture's most glorious chapters. That included the creation of the world's first wristwatch minute repeater, raising the bar on high-frequency chronographs, and its inaugural participation at the 1932 Olympic Games as official timekeeper.
A cutting-edge movement that is the most complicated calibre Omega has ever made. It was also literally designed and built from scratch, because no existing Omega movement could be modified to accommodate the wealth of new complications and all the additional components they necessitated. In a nutshell, is a fully integrated split-second chronograph with minute repeater pulsating at a brisk five hertz or 1/10th of a second—just like the pocket watch chronographs Omega used to time the 1932 Los Angeles Games.
