Csendben jegyezzük meg, hogy a Longines diszkréten
becsorgott forgalom tekintetében a negyedik helyre a Rolex,
Cartier és Omega mögé. Nem cseng az a név még etásan se olyan rosszul.

Persze ettől még saját kalibert valóban nem fognak készíteni.
Meg miről is beszélünk. Omega saját kaliber? Mert Omegára van feliratozva,
csak nekik fejleszti a Swatch group, az ő gyárépületükbe kerültek a gépek,
nem a szokott etás mérnökök ülnek a monitorok előtt? Vagy mégis?

"The first phase of the ambitious project to reshape the site of the headquarters of Omega 

is already under way, with the former Swatch headquarters demolished and ready to make way

for the future Omega manufacture next to the company’s existing head office, which is a listed building. 

Until this ambitious new project is completed in the summer of 2015, however, some 500,000 Omega co-axial movements
are produced for the brand on assembly lines at various facilities of the 
Swatch Group’s ETA division.
Europa Star had the opportunity to visit the dedicated assembly line for the most recent of these co-axial movements,
the Calibre 9300 co-axial chronograph at one of 
ETA’s six factories in its home town of Grenchen,
a 15-minute drive from the 
Omega headquarters in Biel.

Here, the movement blanks are produced in the basement and their jewels set in the same building

before they arrive in the clean room that is the assembly line proper,

where 124 of the 337 components are assembled on them, mostly by hand.

The “line” itself is a model of lean manufacturing and a far cry from the more

familiar scenes of rows of watchmakers working alongside each other."

No, ennyit a fene nagy saját Omega kaliberekről.
Azért ez még mindig fényévekre van a Rolextől.
