Omega 3330 Lift Angle

loaswa · Feb 4, 2026

Hi everybody!

Does anybody know the correct lift angle for the Omega 3330?
On the web, I found people telling it to be 38, 49, 50 or 52.
Only one can be correct ;-)

Thanks in advance for any help lifting the fog here!

Thread 'Lift Angles for New Coaxial Calibres' ·

Anyone have data for the lift angles on the various newer coaxial movements? I found info on the older 2500 (38degrees) but nothing on the newer 8XXX calibres.

Any help is much appreciated!

Please note that unless your timing machine has a specific setting for co-axial escapements, it will not measure the balance amplitude correctly. This will be a setting that you have to select through a menu setting.

Piggybacking on Archer's comment, some of the Chinese made timegraphers claim to be able to read co-axial movements. This is misleading. They can accurately measure rate and beat error but not amplitude. I don't know of any Weishi 1000 or 1900 timegraphers that can accurately measure the amplitude of a co-axial movement.

Thanks, but that thread unfortunately only mentions 8xxx movements, not the older 3330 for which I'm trying to find out the lift angle.

Thanks Archer!

I'll be measuring with a Witschi Chronomaster Pro. The Software allows to select a coaxial measuring mode

It seems Omega also adjusts their non-master chronometers quite nicely. That's what I measured for the 3330:
