Minute Track Accents Evoke Railway Lines

The "Railmaster" was born in 1957. As its name suggests, it was created for those working near magnetic fields, such as railway employees. While most watches with anti-magnetic properties at the time offered around 60 gauss, this watch boasted an impressive 1000 gauss.

This timepiece, loved for many years for its classical and refined design, has been updated.

The new Railmaster is equipped with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8806, achieving an anti-magnetic performance 15 times that of the original model, at 15,000 gauss.

The dial, which inherits the elegant charm, is available in two types: black and gray. The indices, coated with Vintage Super-LumiNova, feature a minute track reminiscent of railway lines and a cross symbol symbolizing OMEGA's precision, exuding a refined atmosphere while adhering to the timeless design.

For the strap, customers can choose between an SS bracelet or a leather NATO strap for the gray dial, and an SS bracelet or a textile strap for the black dial.
