Calibers
Automatic watches:
a timeless technology
Automatic watches are more than just timekeeping instruments; they are a fusion of craftsmanship, precision and aesthetics. Also known as mechanical watches, these watches feature a complex internal mechanism that winds itself by the natural movements of the wearer.
The charm of automatic watches lies in their artisanal nature and the fact that they are tangible evidence of technical perfection. Each watch is a unique work of art, often with hand-applied dials and carefully assembled parts. Automatic watches are generally more expensive than manual or quartz watches.
Manual watches:
a tribute to tradition and precision.
These timeless timepieces require daily manual winding, creating an intimate bond between wearer and watch. With carefully crafted dials and sophisticated mechanics, they are more than just time instruments; they are works of art in their own right.
Manual watches embody craftsmanship and bring a sense of authenticity to a world of technological gadgets. Their sophistication and elegance remind us that some things are best made slowly and with attention.
Quartz watches:
The perfect fusion of precision and practical convenience.
Thanks to their quartz crystal, they offer unparalleled accuracy, making them a favorite in modern timekeeping. These watches are reliable, low-maintenance and often affordable. Their simple design makes them suitable for everyday use, while adding style to any outfit.
Whether a sporty timepiece or an elegant dress watch, quartz watches are a smart choice for those looking for functionality without compromising on quality.
Omega Quartz
In the 1970s, Omega introduced a revolutionary approach to the operation of their quartz watches. The crown was primarily used to adjust functions such as the date, while the time was set via convenient push buttons on the side of the case. This unique user interface was characteristic of watches with calibers such as the Beta 21 caliber, which was one of the first mass-produced quartz movements.
Later, other calibers, such as the 1330 and 1365 calibers, were also introduced that were known for their precision and reliability. This innovative approach contributed to the popularity of Omega's quartz watches and confirmed Omega's reputation as a pioneer in watch technology.
