The Omega Master Chronometer Certification - A Monochrome-Watches Documentary

My 2018 speedmaster racing is still within +0.5 second a day over several months of daily wearing. I adjustment mine pretty much only at daylight saving dates. Incredibly accurate.

I bought my Speedmaster GMT in March. Wore it everyday and never lose or advance time. I set it on my cell phone time before wearing. I own many mechanical watches before this watch and this being my second Omega even outperformed my older Speedmaster and other Swiss and Japanese watches.
I don’t have a Grand Seiko - yet. So not able to compare with the Spring drive.

I'm just a peasant and had to settle for a Certina.

This is why Omega is so important in the industry of watches

John Harrison would be proud.🕰 My GMT is worn in memory of the genius longcase clockmaker of the longitude.⛵ Accurate to one second a month in the 1700's!

✨✨👏🏻👏🏻

I'm an OMEGA man FOREVER

My vintage GENEVE gives me street cred

I "LOVE" being an OMEGA man

There is now a Meta 2 certification : 0s/+2s a day.

Thank you Monochrome team for making this video. I have a new found respect for Omega movements.

Master chronometer my ass! It is now 2023 and my new Globemaster is losing 4 seconds/day. The fit of the endlink to the case is horrible.

Im very happy I watched this. To fully apreciate Omega watch, you have to dive deep into its technological marvels, design and history is great, but its this inovation ( just like F1 ) making Omega technological jewel and marvel

Spoke to the manager of watches in a leading UK jeweller today. He said that Rolex make their watches by hand and that is why they are more desirable than the manufactured Omega watches.
Please tell me if this is the case and if that means Rolex are better. From what I can see here the science and technology that goes into producing an Omega watch is incredibly detailed.

Watching this while waiting for my green Aqua Terra to arrive!

informative

Thank you so much, Monochrome. I always wanted to understand what the certification meant and how it's done. This didn't disappoint. I am now even more impressed at my watch. What an amazing and beautiful price of engineering I get to admire!

I will be buying a Bond seamaster 300 profesional, that watch would have all this test that we saw here?

I am honored to have an omega on my wrist

I love my omega

I like his cheeky smile when talking about the upcoming plans for the moonwatch. I can proudly say I now own the new co-axial master-chronometer moonwatch and it is absolutely fantastic!

I believe this illustrates the massive amount of value that Omega offers their customers. The Quality - Technology - Materials innovation is quite incredible, at what I believe is a very reasonable price. I researched several brands for a luxury sports watch, and I just kept going back to Omega primarily for their commitment to precision and accuracy.

I have 2 omegas and one of them -1 spd and the other -2 spd. Both of them 2021 model

My first master chronometer loose at least 2.5 seconds per day. No matter the position of the watch! Really disappointed

They updated the moon watch now and it also got the same certification... but $1000+

Have a speedy which I love and I think the globe master is next on my list!

Very nice work. Puts really a new quality standard. Wow, amazing. I think in this price category you can’t find higher accuracy. I would like to have one omega watch with those manufacturer caliber. Hopefully soon:-)

What is the sense of testing the magnetic field every time? If the materials are amagnetic, what's the sense? Are there some samples that doesn't pass the test?

Bloody hell! Someone stop the ‘interviewer’ showing clever he is! Don’t tell the guy, ASK him!!!!

Very interesting subject made so damn boring by your video! Was any planning done? You had a director?? The OMEGA guy is an old fashioned ‘talking head’ so dated!!
Expected better, didn’t come close to meeting my expectations.
Love OMEGA regardless.

Love them so much that I own two.

Saving for the great white 300m seamaster in about a years time it’ll be mine! :)

...and now even the Moonwatch gets METAS certification :)

Why not in 16/9 ? No one have a Cinema at Home. Greetings from germany

Omega puts to shame Rolex, Breitling, and other high end Boutique Watch! You get what you pay for with, Omega! High Stands for High complete Package! Rolex is Junk, outdated made by other manufactures with the Rolex Logo! 90 percent paid for the name, not quality!

keep it up monochrome watches, your videos of interviews with people in the inside are such a delight to watch

Omega absolutely destroys every other watch maker when it comes to developing movements that truly serve the purpose of telling time reliably and accurately, regardless of conditions. Leagues ahead of Rolex in my books!

I would love more technical content like this. Fundamentally it's the what makes them watches so interesting and desirable.

For the interviewer: You shouldn't really finish people's sentences. You had cut in what the Omega guy was saying, and he was saying things loudly and clearly; you then finished his sentence with you inaudible, muffled voice and the audience couldn't understand the whole intent message from the Omega guy.

Have a Omega Seamaster movement wise cannot compete with the Seiko LX prospex spring drive totally different animal has a much better movement

The Seiko LX Prospex is the better watch

This is why i love omega so much.😍

I love Omega. I have 3 Omega Watches. 2*Seamaster 1*Constellation. My Grandfather weared Omega, my Father wear Omega...…. and me...… till the end of my live.

METAS is the highest independent certification for performance for a automatic movement. Rolex absolutely NEEDS to have their movements independently tested by METAS. In-house certification of accuracy like Rolex does is meaningless. COSC is outdated and not hard to achieve by any automatic movement. Time for Rolex to step up and let their movements do the talking rather than their marketing machine.

This is what happens when a watch company works to be great as opposed to sitting back and resting on their brands marketing perception. This also separate the thinking mans tool watch from the tool that buys the watch as a commodity broker.

AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you for taking the time to make it! 🙏

I bought the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300 and it was one of the cleverest decisions i ever made.

Omega is the best!!
