**Railmaster** is a watch range by [[Omega]].

===== History =====
The original Railmaster was first introduced in the year [[1957]] and strengthened the already existing strong connection between Omega and the railroad. Although the company hat officially delivered [[pocket watch]]es to railway companies since [[1895]], the Railmaster was the first watch that was designed specifically for railway employees, scientists, technicians and electricians as well as all other professions who worked with or in the vicinity of strong electric currents, for it had at that time a special [[antimagnetic]] double caseback to to protect the movement against the damaging effects of electric fields.

[[2003]] a revised re-edition of the classic Omega Railmaster was launched. It was equipped with the high-quality movement with [[coaxial]] escapement, developed at the end of the 90s. Meanwhile, the Railmaster range is no longer produced.
