In 1957 Omega released their Railmaster watch which had specially constructed case, dial, movement and dust cover using materials to cheap watches shield against magnetic activity. Its movement was copper finished and protected by a special double case and iron dust cover making it Omega's first 1000 gauss anti-magnetic watch. Which leads us to Omega's announcement just recently of their development of the Seamaster Aqua Terra 15,000 gauss model.This model, the latest advancement in mechanical watches to counter magnetism, took a different sports watch approach. Instead of trying to improve on the classical but imperfect system of an inner protective case, Omega came up with the solution to build a movement that uses non-ferrous components so that the movement itself is resistant to magnetic fields. Omega already had some non-magnetic components in place: silicon balance springs and nickel phosphorous escapement wheels for instance, and these were incorporated into the new design. Omega has indicated all models will be fitted with the anti-magnetic movement by 2017.Top 10 Technically Important Mechanical Ainol Novo10 Forever Wrist Watches watch talkThe Automatic ChronographAlthough the self-winding movement and the chronograph complication had been created a long time ago, their union in a wristwatch took a surprisingly long time to take place. This was due to the technical difficulties the combination raised, one that frightened away even the most experienced movement manufacturers. The impetus for the creation of the first automatic chronograph was driven by the decline in hand wound chronographs as well as the appearance of the quartz watch. Further, the popularity and sales of automatic watches was increasing, combined these issues served to galvanize Film Camera watchmakers with a greater sense of urgency.1969 became the year to give birth to the automatic chronograph and it was a race involving multiple watchmakers: An Heuer; Breitling; Hamilton-Buren; Dubois-Depraz partnerships developing the Caliber 11 or "Chronomatic" and then there was Zenith and Movado partnering together and Seiko going it alone. Determining who won this race is no easy ultra slim touch screen watch task since it was in a sense a "photo finish" and the importance of who was first has been much overstated. Of course Zenith even went to the point of calling theirs the first naming it "El Primero".In terms of timing, Zenith made the first announcement and demonstrated their prototypes in January 1969 at a low-key press conference in Switzerland. But, the El Primero didn't go into production until October that year. The Caliber 11 group made high profile announcements with press conferences in Geneva and at the Pa-Am building in New York in March and the "Chronomatic" went into production in August.Seiko claims they started production of their automatic chronograph reference 6139 in May 1969 for the Japanese market. Serial numbers on the earliest examples indicate wrist watch a date of March 1969 however whether they are full production models or prototypes seems to be unclear and shrouded in mystery. There was no mention of the 6139 in the book " A Journey in Time" the authorized history of Seiko, and they didn't attend the 1969 Baselworld, so it seems down to speculation.. the question of who was first still seems to be a very popular subject for debate. 745TDBanty 130723
