The Omega legendary Co-Axial escapement joined the world of watchmaking in 1999. The groundbreaking technology was invented by the famous watchmaker George Daniels. It was destined to become the first practical mechanical watch escapement that followed the Swiss lever escapement invented more than 150 years ago.

The escapement is necessary for maintaining the balance oscillations, representing the regulating organ of a timepiece. Its mechanical efficiency must be as high as possible, implying it must absorb as little energy as possible while performing its functions. Once considered to be the most efficient, the lever escapement is able to pass on just 30 percent of the received energy. The rest of the energy is lost because of the inertia of the masses put in motion, friction and shocks.

But modern watchmaking re-examined the matter and the Co-Axial escapement was born. The Co-Axial escapement reduces friction and uses available energy in a more efficient way, thus providing more stability of the precision timekeeping for a considerably longer period of time. read more
