Omega's first real magnetically movement

Previous watchmaking magnetic shielding the standard diamagnetic way, Omega inventive, the selection of a variety of non-ferrous metal materials to build anti-magnetic movement, whereby the movement from magnetic fields. Specifically, the use of magnetic shielding of the general anti-magnetic table, such as the outer case and movement between the place magnetic soft iron inner case, reducing the impact of magnetic field on the movement. Ordinary anti-magnetic sheet can withstand the magnetic field strength of 60 to 80 gauss, a handful of anti-magnetic table 1000 gauss can do, but when the magnetic field is stronger than 1000 gauss magnetic shielding method will fail. Omega innovative anti-magnetic movement has a the distinctive huge advantage: can resist up to 15,000 gauss or more strong magnetic field; within the limitations of the case, section movement equipped with anti-magnetic watch with calendar display function, we can use sapphire case back, people enjoy the beauty of the precision movement running. Omega equipped with anti-magnetic movement of the first sample being a Seamaster Aqua Terra prototype of the table, and will be officially released in April 2013 Basel International Watch and Jewellery Show this innovative technology.
