8900

About the Omega 8900

It is the two-barrel 8500 architecture made anti-magnetic: a silicon balance spring on a free-sprung balance, non-magnetic alloys through the escapement, and the METAS tests that check the cased watch in a 15,000 gauss field, for daily rate between 0 and +5 seconds, and for water resistance. The reserve is 60 hours from two barrels in series, the beat 25,200 vph, the diameter 29 mm with 39 jewels, and the finish rhodium with arabesque Geneva waves. The 8901 is the same movement with a gold rotor and balance bridge.

In the library it sits under 40 Aqua Terras, the 41 mm model of 2017 onward, 17 Constellations, the 41 mm Gents of 2020, 17 Planet Oceans at 43.5 mm, 8 Globemasters and 7 De Villes. The 41 mm case accounts for 63 references.

The 8800 is the single-barrel version for mid-size cases, and the 9900 the Master Chronometer chronograph.
