8801

About the Omega 8801

The 8800 is a single-barrel co-axial caliber certified by METAS to resist 15,000 gauss, with a silicon balance spring, a free-sprung balance, 35 jewels, a 55-hour reserve and a beat of 25,200 vph. The 8801 is mechanically the same; the rotor and the balance bridge are made in Sedna gold, Omega's red gold alloy, so the movement seen through a display back matches the case. The 8807 is the same idea in the Aqua Terra, and the 8901 the gold version of the larger 8900.

In the library it powers 10 Constellation references at 39 mm, 6 Aqua Terras, 5 Seamaster Diver 300Ms in gold at 42 mm, 2 De Villes, 2 Planet Oceans and one Seamaster 1948. Cases run from 34 mm to 42 mm.
