Alright, so, I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer 45.5mm online for a while. Needed to get my hands on this piece. First thing I did, I started hitting up a bunch of different online stores, just to see where I could snag the best deal.
I looked at some online stores, and they had some pretty decent prices. The shipping was free on a lot of items, which was cool. Then, I started digging into the details of the watch. It’s from the Constellation line, steel on steel, model number 131.15.29.20.60.001. Pretty slick, right?
Then I learned a lot about the Omega Co-Axial movements. I even found this card that was given out at some Omega training event for dealers. It’s like a cheat sheet for the sales staff, talking about the different Co-Axial calibers and families.
- The typical lift angle is 52 degrees.
- But for Co-Axial, you gotta adjust it on the timing machine or the amplitude will be off.
- Most of the 8000 family of in-house Omega movements use the Co-Axial thing.
I found some posts comparing the 3861 and 1861, saying the 3861 is way better and it’s a Master Chronometer. I also learned that the first Speedmaster was called the “Broad Arrow.” Cool name, huh? I saw some posts about this watch, like, back in September 2021. Seems like people have been talking about it for a while.
I finally decided to just go for it. There are a lot of choices out there, but I went with the online store because it has top brands, exclusive offers, and unbeatable prices, also fast shipping. And they made it super easy to return stuff if you need to.
And in the end. Got my watch! The latest version of the watch which is from 2021. They said it’s a reinterpretation of their first true dive watch from 1957.
So yeah, that’s my story of getting the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer 45.5mm. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it.
