·I do appreciate the genius of it though.
You effectively added a regulator screw like in the ye ol' movements without compromising the free-sprung mechanism.

·That's nice... for Omega to regulate easier, but it's not a huge benefit for owners (the way si14 might be seen).
It will not improve your quality of life much otherwise lol.
However, luxury is all about having useless bits and bobs, no?

·Shame they didn't decide to go with a Reed/Swan Neck regulator design. The more I look at the current design, the more it seems like just a screw. Bit of a missed opportunity.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorSo the certificate for my CK 859 shows average daily chronometric precision at 1 second per day. I kinda hoped the new system would be nearer 0 per day.
Not even Quartz offers 0 per day 😗
0 to +5. So you have to be happy with 1 second a day
It ensures, among other specifications, that the movement offers a daily accuracy between 0 to +5 seconds and is resistant to magnetic fields up to 1.5 Tesla (15,000 gauss). Caliber 8926 houses a free-sprung balance with a silicon balance spring and uses two barrels mounted in series. Fully wound, this modern movement provides 72 hours of power reserve. Lastly, it is rhodium plated and decorated with arabesque Geneva stripes.

I’m delighted with my CK 859. I meant the difference between my 1 second certificate and the 0.9 sec of the new innovation seemed surprisingly small. Maybe the new system will be more constant in that they will all measure around this figure.

·You got lucky my friend.
The new innovation is not for you.
The new innovation is for neurotic people like me, who complain about their Master Chronometer being +6s/day. And then have a complete mental breakdown when it becomes +7s/day when they reach out to scratch their butt crack with the left hand.

·Development with the caliber I find really amazing. It was like a dream to regulate the hairspring and now Omega made it possible. This accuracy is amazingly good. When we think that Horlogerie is all about accuracy, this has a huge value for sure.
Apart from that mostly the design of the SuperRacing was criticised. I actually love the black and yellow design a lot. Yellow lume is also a very nice idea. Especially with the Nato it seems really good for my taste. I also use my black-yellow Speedy Racing with a Nato and I love that way. The size and naming was the only things I didn't like. Giant sized watch is not the best in my opinion. Even 42mm was big for my wrist and I went with 40. This is too big for most of the people out there. Super Racing is also very bad naming I think but this is too personal.

·OK I'll skip a Spring Drive GS and wait for a blue 38.5mm Aqua Terra with Spirate 🤔
