Drawing inspiration from the second-generation Speedmaster CK 2998, Omega introduces the all-new Superbia Chrono Chime watch (model: 522.50.45.52.03.001). This timepiece inherits classic elements such as Alpha hands, vertical lugs, and a DON bezel. It is equipped with the new Calibre 1932 high-frequency Master Chronometer movement, combining chronograph and chiming functions into one, making it the most complicated Speedmaster ever created.
The new timepiece boasts a diameter of 45 millimeters and a thickness of 17.2 millimeters. Its case is entirely crafted from 18K Sedna™ gold, complemented by a matching material bracelet and clasp. Creatively integrating blue sandstone and grand feu enamel craftsmanship, the brand embellishes the dial and tachymeter scale. The 18K Sedna™ gold subdials are positioned at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, adorned with a “sound wave” guilloché pattern. The hour and minute hands, as well as hour markers, undergo diamond-polishing for enhanced clarity in time reading. A red-tipped central seconds hand and blue chemical vapor deposition (CVD) subdial hands enrich the dial’s color palette even further.
Through the transparent case back, one can admire the integrated Calibre 1932 high-frequency Master Chronometer movement. Omega, with assistance from its sister brand Blancpain, spent six years developing this movement, manufactured in its own Atelier d’Excellence. Unlike merely adding functional modules to an existing base, Calibre 1932 is a completely integrated new movement, making it the most complex movement ever produced by Omega. This movement combines a chronograph with a flyback mechanism, a high-frequency regulating organ, and a chiming mechanism capable of audibly indicating elapsed time.
During the development of the Calibre 1932 movement, Omega faced several challenges. Firstly, achieving a timing accuracy of 1/10th of a second for the new watch meant that the movement’s frequency had to reach 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz). However, the coaxial escapement invented by George Daniels traditionally operates at frequencies of 3 Hz or 4 Hz. Omega’s watchmakers had to completely redesign the escapement mechanism to accommodate the higher frequency. Additionally, a large mainspring barrel was installed next to the regulating mechanism to provide stable and reliable power.
Furthermore, the Superbia Chrono Chime watch is a chronograph timepiece paying homage to the pocket watches used during the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. The Calibre 1932 movement has been upgraded to a flyback chronograph, equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism. One button (integrated within the crown at 3 o’clock) is used to start, stop, and reset the chronograph function, while another button (at 2 o’clock) controls the flyback function.
Finally, the brand has developed a new chiming system that audibly indicates the elapsed time using cams. The Calibre 1932 movement chimes with a low tone for the minutes, a mixed tone for the tens of seconds, and a high tone for the single seconds.
As a Master Chronometer movement, the Calibre 1932 is equipped with 50 non-magnetic components, capable of withstanding external magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. This manually wound movement offers a power reserve of 60 hours. Its base plate and bridges are crafted from 18K Sedna™ gold, meticulously finished with techniques such as manual beveling, mirror polishing, and laser engraving, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
