2005/06 Omega Railmaster Co-Axial 39mm 2503.52.00
Here we have a 2005/06 Omega Railmaster Co-Axial 39mm 2503.52.00, introduced at BaselWorld in 2003, a modern interpretation of the 1957 Omega Railmaster reference CK2914; the purpose of the Railmaster was to achieve accurate timekeeping while working near strong magnetic fields. The 1957 original had shielding that protected the movement up to 1000 gauss; this modern interpretation shields the movement up to 15,000 gausses; researchers and electrical workers working with laboratory spectrometers and electrical transformers have been working closely with Omega to produce these timepieces. The symmetrical 39mm polished and brushed stainless steel case curves with characteristic twisted lugs over your wrist, a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm, and a case thickness of 11mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. A signed screw-down crown with deep knurling on the right side for extra grip. The smooth polished stepped bezel holds a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal above a striking matte black dial. An outer minute track is precisely executed with the hour markers made up of dagger indexes filled with SuperLumiNova and the 12, 3, 6 and 9 Arabic numerals, perfectly balancing this vintage-inspired dial. Slender arrow steel hands are infilled with the same SuperLumiNova and complemented by a sweeping counterweighted second-hand. At 12 o’clock, we have the Omega motif and “Railmaster” printed underneath. At 6 o’clock, we have the “Co-Axial Chronometer”. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back with the details engraved around its edge. Inside an automatic Omega Co-Axial Cal. 2403, 27 jewels, 25,200 beats per hour, COSC certification. The watch comes fitted on its Omega 20mm brushed stainless steel bracelet; all links are provided, and a push-button butterfly clasp has a large Omega motif with fine brushing.
