The latest step to reach ever greater accuracy is named Spirate. Indeed, it was the movement that was magnetic-resistant, eliminating the need for a special protective case. Resistant to magnetic fields of over 15,000 gauss (1,000,000 A/m or 1.5 Tesla), the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra exceeded the magnetic resistance of most, if not all, other watches, thanks to the use of proprietary non-magnetic alloys for key movement components. In 2013, Omega claimed to have launched a watch with the highest level of magnetic resistance of any serially produced mechanical wristwatch. Meet the new Omega Speedmaster Super Racing. With a guaranteed accuracy of +0 and +2 seconds/day, it may well be the best-in-class for the industry. To celebrate a decade of precision watchmaking, Omega writes a new chapter with a watch that feels familiar visually (based on a Speedmaster Racing) but hides a new hairspring and fine-tuning system – the Omega Spirate System. This was the first milestone in a story that later, combined with the tech developed by the brand and its co-axial escapement, would introduce the Master Chronometer certification. With a model based on the Seamaster Aqua Terra, the brand developed a watch capable of resisting magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Ten years ago, in 2013, Omega presented the first stage of its journey towards higher levels of anti-magnetism and accuracy.
