OMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime 45 mm, Sedna™ gold on Sedna™ gold 522.50.45.52.03.001

Description

The classic 45.5 mm numbered edition Chrono Chime has an 18K Sedna™ Gold case inspired by the 2nd generation Speedmaster, the CK 2998, the first watch worn in space.

The dial, in blue aventurine “Grand Feu” enamel, features an inner bezel and subdials in 18K Sedna™ Gold “exclusive acoustic waves”. The hour markers and hour/minutes hands are in diamond-polished 18K Sedna™ Gold. Providing extra touches of colour on the display are red tipped dial hands and blue CVD subdial hands.

The chime pusher at 8 o’clock sports a charming polished and embossed music note, while the split-seconds pusher at 2 o’clock has a red hybrid ceramic ring to mirror the look of the split seconds hand. Completing the look is a bracelet and buckle in 18K Sedna™ Gold.

The watch’s special presentation box in walnut features a resonance plate made of spruce to amplify the sound of each chime. The monumental case includes a magnifying glass to explore the watch’s details, a storybook and travel bag.

Providing the power is the most complicated calibre OMEGA has ever made: OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 1932. A fully integrated chronograph and minute repeater, which fuses both functions together in one watch movement, in order to chime the elapsed time.

Features

• Anti-magnetic: The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).
• Chronograph: The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
• Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has been successfully tested by an accredited and independent laboratory in order to receive a certificate compliant with the chronometer ISO 3159 standard.
• Master Chronometer Certified: Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
• Numbered edition: A watch series each of whose pieces is numbered sequentially in the order it is produced.
• Small seconds: A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.
• Tachymeter: A tachymeter watch has a function for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read in kilometres per hour based on a 1000 metre distance.
• Transparent caseback: A transparent caseback – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
