The **Omega 8500** is a mechanical movement with [[automatic]] winding, [[co-axial escapement]] and two [[barrel]]s. Power reserve is 60 hours. At the calibre [[Omega 8501]] [[rotor]] and balance bridge are made in 18ct [[red gold]].

This was the first second-generation [[Co-Axial]] movement from Omega. Unlike the earlier movements, which were essentially modified [[ETA]] movements, Cal. 8500 was designed from the start to have a Co-Axial escapement.

Used e.g. in the model [[Omega De Ville Hour Vision|De Ville Hour Vision]].
