====== Omega 8900 ====== **Calibre 8900** is the first of a family of [[automatic]] [[Co-Axial]] watch movements from [[Omega]]. It will replace [[Omega 8500|Cal. 8500]]. ===== History ===== In [[2007]], Omega introduced the first [[in-house]] [[Co-Axial]] movement family, [[Omega 8500|Cal. 8500]]. This movement was redesigned and the new **Cal. 8900** launched at [[BaselWorld]] in [[2015]]. That movement was shortly joined by a family of new movements, with Omega making it known that this would replace the Cal. 8500 family. The luxury-finished **Cal. 8901** was the first of Omega's movements to meet the [[METAS]] certification. Cal. 8900 features two barrels in series, providing a power reserve of 60 hours. It uses a free-spring balance and silicon balance spring, making it resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss. Like its predecessor, it operates at 25,200 A/h rather than the [[high-beat|more-common 28,800 A/h]]. ===== Variants ===== * Cal. 8900 * [[Omega Globemaster]] * [[Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial]] * Cal. 8901 - Luxury finished * [[Omega Globemaster]] * [[Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial]] * Cal. 8902 - Luxury finished, annual calendar * [[Omega De Ville Hour Vision]] * Cal. 8903 - Luxury finished, gold rotor and bridge, annual calendar * [[Omega De Ville Hour Vision]] * Cal. 8906 - GMT * [[Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial GMT]] * Cal. 8912 - No date * Cal. 8913 - Luxury finished, no date version * [[Omega Globemaster]] * Cal. 8922 - (2016) Annual calendar * [[Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar]] * Cal. 8923 - Luxury finish, annual calendar * [[Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar]] **Manufacturer:** * [[Omega]] **Description:** * [[Self-winding]] [[double barrel]] movement * [[Manufacture]] movement * [[Co-Axial]] [[escapement]] with free sprung-balance and silicon balance spring * [[METAS]] certified [[chronometer]] **Functions:** * Hour, minute, seconds **Data:** * 39 [[jewels]] * 25,200 A/h * Power reserve 60 Hours **Production period:** * Since [[2015]] {{tag>Movements Automatic_movements Double_barrel_movements Omega_calibres Omega_Co-Axial_calibres}}
