A watch as precise as science

The special antimagnetic double case back with which this watch model was equipped in 1957 protected the movement from damage caused by the influence of strong electric fields. For this reason, the watch became especially popular among people who worked in the vicinity of strong electric currents. Not only railroad employees liked to wear the Omega Seamaster Railmaster, but also electricians, technicians and scientists were enthusiastic about the model. Even with magnetic fields of up to 1,000 Gauss, the movement ran unswervingly with the highest precision.

The new edition does not disappoint

In 2003, the new edition of this classic watch was launched in the form of the Omega Seamaster Railmaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer. Available in both a 40-millimeter and 38-millimeter stainless steel case with a conical crown. The white or black dial is vertically brushed and features self-illuminating hands. It is powered by the anti-magnetic Master Chronometer caliber 8806, which is located behind the wave-edged case back and naturally winds itself. By the way, these days the watch can withstand an incredible 15,000 gauss without any problems. You have the choice between a stainless steel, leather or textile strap. Thus, you can optimally adapt the watch to your style. The Omega brand also knows how to convince with this type of watch. If you are looking for a classic yet technically unsurpassed model, which reminds you of the railroads of the 1950s through small design elements, you will certainly not be disappointed by the Omega Seamaster Railmaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer.
