Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Technical Review

Master watchmaker Jordan P. Ficklin reviews Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Co-Axial Master Chronometer in his workshop.
For reference, Jordan mentions these three videos in his review:
George Daniels' Co-Axial Escapements (by AWCI): • George Daniels' Coaxia...
Omega Master Co-Axial (by Omega): • Co-Axial Escapement | ...

Always great listening to a genuine expert whatever the field.

[@PROWATCHES]

Jordan has a vast knowledge of watchmaking, as well as the ability to communicate that knowledge to both watchmakers and non-watchmakers, which is what makes his videos so good

Love your channel. Its like Watchfinder without the fluff.

[@PROWATCHES]

Watchfinder has significant funding and their videos are incredibly well done so if we can achieve anything that remotely looks like what they produce, that's a huge compliment...thank you!

[@actraiser123]

Not to take your reply as a kind of "endorsement of a brand", just because of the looks of it, what is the watch you are wearing? (I too use and Applewatch and a mechanical watch on the other wrist most days of the week!). And thanks for your honest reviews always!!!, dream job!!

[@nanba739]

I've been waiting for this video for so long......

[@PROWATCHES]

Glad the wait is over!

I would like to see (hear) a discussion on the oils used for watches.

[@jolness1]

I have this same watch in a green dial. Mine has been quite accurate (roughly 1/3rd second per day) Looking forward to this video.

[@PROWATCHES]

That's great accuracy

[@matt4590]

Just found this channel, love the in depth and technical reviews! I would love to see your thoughts on Tudor's movements as well.

[@PROWATCHES]

We've asked Tudor and they will not let us open any watch, which is the same at most watch companies, unfortunately

[@anthonyonline4740]

Really great video. I like your skills in explaining complicated functions.

[@PROWATCHES]

Jordan has been teaching watchmaking for many years, not to mention having an engineering background and being an active master watchmaker, which is why he's so good at explaining the mechanical intricacies of watches

[@richardjohnson559]

I recently heard Roger Smith on the Scottish Watch podcast and he mentioned that his new Speedmaster had a single wheel co-axial escapement. He was clearly surprised with this evolution of the movement by Omega as he has also been developing a single wheel escapement. Do you happen to know when Omega started using this modification and if it was in the 8900 that you reviewed. Great review!

That's a really cool quilted wallhanging.

[@ech268]

Great video & content. Thanks! Please keep it coming…

[@PROWATCHES]

We plan to keep producing as many of these as possible, and we're also working on new content to complement the watchmaker videos!

[@swimgc]

superb review. Love your channel.

[@soulg1969]

What watch are you wearing there?

[@jolness1]

I have an 8800 powered SMP300 and I do prefer the 8900. It is MUCH louder though. Can hear the tick if I fall asleep wearing the AT and have it near my head at all. I like it though.

[@PROWATCHES]

Interesting

[@yehoshuacirt8645]

But there are other parts in there besides than the coaxial escapement. And they still needs regular oiling. No? Regarding accuracy certainly its accuracy is more due to silicon spring and free sprung balance wheel.

[@PROWATCHES]

Yes, there are other parts that need oil, but the escapement has always been the weak point where we see the degradation of oil the fastest. The silicon hairspring and free-sprung balance contribute to the good timekeeping but the Co-Axial escapement makes it so that the timekeeping can stay consistent over the entire service interval of the watch.

[@lupodisol]

Great explainiation!

[@mpiny]

thank you

[@markduckett]

Who makes that wonderful bench?

[@pranavkarol]

Super video 🙂

[@pitagil]

Thanks for the video! How does the movement compare to the Grand Seiko 9SA4?
