The feeling of joy when an athlete wins, or even when there is a disappointing defeat, can almost be felt in the room when you watch a particular match. Seeing the Olympics on television just isn't the same as being there where the struggle for excellence is really electric. Anyone who watches the Olympics knows that for the most part, seconds and fractions of seconds count when determining the winners. I was lucky enough to watch a Hungarian woman set a new world record in a particular swimming event. She didn't win alone, of course, but beat the existing world record by about two full seconds. In the world of records, that's a huge margin, and being able to record well is crucial. In another event during that same session, a male Japanese swimmer narrowly beat an Australian swimmer by about 0.15 seconds. If the Olympics doesn't cause a group of very influential people to become utterly obsessed with time and timing, then I just don't know what will. Many (of course not all) of these champions from around the world will grow up (or grow into) fans of luxury watches simply because of the importance timing had in both their training and their success. This is just one of the many interesting and probably unintended positive side effects that Omega receives from its dedicated participation in the Olympics every two years.

On the subject of timekeeping, let's return to the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Rio 2016 Limited Edition, which, with its colors, matches the personality of Rio de Janeiro as well as the Olympics themselves. Inside the watch is the Omega caliber 2500 movement, which is an interesting mechanism. 2500 was one of the first movements to use a working industrial version of the Co-Axial Escapement technology that Omega purchased from George Daniels and tried to mass-produce for years. The 2500 automatic movement starts with a basic ETA caliber (Omega is owned by the Swatch Group, which also owns the watchmaker ETA) and then uses a special Co-Axial Escapement system. While Omega could probably get away with calling this move internal, it's, in reality, a hybrid between their own parts and those of ETA (again the same parent company). Omega instead uses the more precise term "exclusive" to define the movement.
You should further know that this modern version of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M replica uses the latest version of the 2500 movement (known as the caliber 2500d, the fourth iteration of the movement). Since its debut, Omega has made a series of changes to improve reliability and performance. When the latest version of the Diver 300M came out, Omega upgraded the timepiece from the 2500c to the 2500d, finally offering a full three-level coaxial escapement (which George Daniels has always wanted) that Omega could finally industrialize and offer the greatest stability. The Co-Axial Escapement technology was intended to increase motion accuracy over time and further shorten the time between maintenance intervals (a Coaxial Escapement in the 2500d is claimed to last twice as long as a traditional Swiss escapement). When Omega switched from the 2500b to the 2500c, they made an interesting change from a movement frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 BPH) to the exotic 3.5 Hz number (25,200 BPH). The power reserve for the automatic caliber 2500 movement is 48 hours, and the movement is a COSC-certified chronometer. Replica Patek Philippe watches at our site.
