8700

About the Omega 8700

It brings the full Master Chronometer specification down to a ladies' size: the co-axial escapement, a free-sprung balance with a silicon balance spring, resistance to 15,000 gauss certified by METAS, bidirectional winding and a 50-hour reserve at 25,200 vph, with a rhodium finish and arabesque Geneva waves. The 8701 is the same movement with an 18-carat Sedna gold rotor and balance bridge for the gold-cased models.

Every reference here is a Constellation: 58 in the 29 mm Manhattan case and 4 in the 27 mm, in steel, Sedna gold and two-tone, many with diamond bezels. It replaced the 8521 and 8520 in the smallest Constellations, and the 8800 is its counterpart in the 34 mm to 42 mm cases.
