A great read from WIRED which provides a unique look into Omega's new high-tech factory and details the meticulous process behind the assembly of each timepiece

Interesting to read that Omega currently churns out ~3000 watches per week, with capacity to increase it six-fold within years.

 

Not as interesting for us who are collecting these watches. Chevy versus Ferrari

 

Nice read that mate. Thanks for posting.

(Quote from article) "......... At the core of Omega's solar-powered factory are 30,000 boxes containing every watch part imaginable...... distributed over four aisles containing everything from movements to hands and cases to dial" (End of quote)

Very impressive, but where is the old box, containing all the Dot Over Ninety bezels, 24 tooth crowns, pushers and tritium hand sets that they've removed, over the last 50 years, during Speedmaster services?

 

Your old DoN bezels are being recycled on the new Ultraman!

 

Would love to tour it the next time I am in country.

 

Care to elaborate on your comment? I am not sure I understand your point.

 

He is saying the more omega makes, the less they are worth and regarded, I wish they would hold back alittle too like rolex.
