The word Chronoscope blends two traditional Greek expressions. \u201cChronos\u201d meaning time and \u201cScope\u201d meaning to observe. The tool typically measures the duration between two points or events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscop<\/strong>e performs exactly this function beautifully – and on multiple levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TACHYMETER <\/strong>\u201cMeasures speed based on distance\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chronoscope can tell you how fast you are going, based on how far you have travelled. As the scale measures the average travel time between two specific points, it makes no difference whether your journey is in miles or kilometres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TELEMETER <\/strong>\u201cMeasures distance based on speed of sound\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a simple two-step process, OMEGA\u2019s precision tool can tell you exactly how far you are from something that is visible and audible, such as a lightning storm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PULSOMETER <\/strong>\u201cMeasures a human\u2019s heartbeat\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too slow, too fast, or just right? Thanks to this 30-pulse-per-minute scale, you can measure your own or someone else\u2019s heartbeat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSPIRATION AND MOVEMENT<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Chronoscope<\/strong> models pay tribute to OMEGA\u2019s past, with dials in the detailed \u201csnail\u201d design<\/strong> that featured on the brand\u2019s chronograph wristwatches from the 1940\u2019s. The 20th century also makes it mark on the leaf-shaped hands<\/strong> of each watch, as well as the \u201cspiral\u201d track pattern that elegantly runs beneath the Arabic numerals on the dial<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visible through the sapphire crystal on the caseback is a manual-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908<\/strong> with a beautiful finish. A standout feature is the design of the Chronoscope bridge. Geneva waves in arabesque, that start from the balance wheel <\/strong>instead of the centre of the movement \u2013 a first for OMEGA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To improve the watch\u2019s power reserve, OMEGA has included twin barrels with anti-wear DLC coating<\/strong>. OMEGA\u2019s column wheel mechanism ensures the accurate running of the Chronoscope\u2019s multiple functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a certified Master Chronometer, both the movement and the watch<\/strong> have proven their worth under the toughest conditions, having emerged from the industry\u2019s strictest tests, set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
