Omega Chrono Chime Minute Reapeater

Omega is not only famous for its sports diving watches. Historically, Omega has been the most important manufacturer of split-seconds chronographs and the first batch of creators of minute repeater watches and tourbillon watches. In October of this year, Omega once again ignited the entire watch circle with the super complicated Chrono Chime chronograph minute repeater.

In fact, Chrono Chime is more suitable to be called a chronograph than a chronograph minute repeater. Just like the Grandmaster Chime watch launched by Patek Philippe on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the brand. Because the English Minute reapeater corresponding to the minute repeater refers to the current hour, quarter hour and minute, and Patek Philippe’s master strings can also sound the date on demand, which is beyond the scope of the minute repeater.

As for Omega's Chrono Chime watch, it is no longer the current hour, quarter, and minute, but the minutes, ten seconds, and single-digit seconds recorded by the chronograph function. This chronograph has never been reported before, which means that Omega needs to start research and development from the basic movement structure and create a new system instead of adding bricks and tiles to the original system.

The design inspiration or historical origin of the new work comes from the pioneering minute repeater watch launched by Omega in 1892, and the split-second chronograph pocket watch used as the official timekeeper of the Los Angeles Olympic Games for the first time in 1932. The ingenious combination of two milestone works led to the birth of the most complicated 1932 Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement in the brand's history and the most expensive Chrono Chime watch in history.
