About the Omega 8806

The 8800 is Omega's single-barrel co-axial caliber for mid-size cases, 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. Removing the date removes the window and the crown's second position, and gives a dive watch the symmetrical dial of the 1957 originals. The finish is rhodium with arabesque Geneva waves.

In the library it sits under 25 Seamaster Diver 300M references, the no-date model of 2018 onward including the titanium No Time To Die edition of 2020, 10 Railmasters of 2017, whose anti-magnetic brief the movement's certification answers directly, and 2 each in the Museum Collection and the Seamaster 300. The 42 mm case accounts for 19 references.

The 8807 is the gold-rotor version of the same base, and the 2403 the no-date co-axial of the previous generation.
