<<< new Omega >>>
What do we make of this?
A fully integrated chronograph and minute repeater able to chime elapsed times. According to my SA, the box also chimes ![]() https://www.omegawatches.com/watches...-chime/product $500,000 + Swiss Francs according to our boutique. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk |

Just wanted the video on YouTube amazing. What an amazing achievement. I’m staggered it’s that much. How much is the Olympic 1932 going for with the chime?

Beautiful watch but at a price that makes it almost a theoretical piece...meaning one can buy it in theory.

wow that's incredibly impressive. For everyone who has ever complained omega has too many models, too many limited editions, why do they give discounts etc - let this be the answer. Omega is not catering to your resale/investment value. They are here to put out watches people will buy, and use that to fund the R&D that go into the chrono chime, the 321 recreation, the new marswatch, the ultradeep etc. I just named 4 watches released in the span of a couple years that have pushed the limits of horology, and yet people still salivate over a backwards green GMT.

Have you placed an order Brian?
![]() Pretty cool. Not sure anyone asked for this but pretty cool. Is this what I would want for 500k? Heck no. Still impressed. Says developed with blancpain are they releasing a sister watch then?

![]() I missed the part about Blancpain … but see it now. I’m not sure but I guess they’re under the Swatch group so perhaps they all share know how. |

Incredible piece! Quite the achievement, indeed. I'm happy to see Omega create something this special / complicated.

Looks fantastic! Wonder who they targeted as their customer base for this one - 1 or 2 persons?
![]() The 321 canopus gold was also priced through the roof; Trying to elevate the brand position / perception? Nevertheless, Omega has been on fire lately |

I guess technically, it's not a "minute repeater" as it chimes out elapsed time of the chrono not the current time.
Eh, a theoretical watch for me. |

I'm still confused. Why are there what appears to be two seconds hands? I assume one is the chrono hand but what's the other?

I'm assuming that it's the elapsed minute. So there is a running seconds at the 9, the chrono seconds in the center, the red tipped elapsed minute in the center co-axial to the chrono seconds, and the hour totalizer at the 3.

I think it may actually be a rattrapante, so that the chronograph tracks split seconds (or 1/10th of a second) intervals with one of the center seconds hands on top of a regular center seconds hand. But I suspect I will not be learning first hand anytime soon if that’s actually the case.
