This type of anti-magnetic case required de-magnetizing procedures of the case. Most anti-magnetic watches utilize a soft iron - Faraday cage which distributes electromagnetism in such a way that it cancels the effect on the movement contained within. On JanuOmega announced the creation of the world's first movement that is resistant to magnetic fields greater than 1.5 Tesla (15,000 Gauss), far exceeding the levels of magnetic resistance achieved by any previous movement - a similar movement was used by Daniel Craig as James Bond, though the official collectors watch was labelled as resistant to 15,007 Gauss in honor of the fictional secret agent's codename.On JanuOmega unveiled its new Calibres 85, two coaxial (25,200 bph) movements created exclusively from inception by Omega.Through using radial friction instead of sliding friction at the impulse surfaces the coaxial escapement significantly reduces friction, theoretically resulting in longer service intervals and greater accuracy over time. Considered by many to be one of the more significant horological advances since the invention of the lever escapement, the coaxial escapement functions with virtually no lubrication, thereby eliminating one of the shortcomings of the traditional lever escapement. In 1999, after the successful development of Calibre 2500, Omega made history by introducing the first mass-produced watch incorporating the coaxial escapement â invented by English watchmaker George Daniels.A year later, Omega broke its own record in the Geneva Observatory Trials of 1950. In 1949, one of these delivered the best results ever recorded by a wristwatch up to that time. Unlike conventional Tourbillion movement's whose cages rotate once per minute, the 30I's cage rotated one time each seven and a half minutes. Twelve of these movements were made, intended for inclusion in the observatory trials in Geneva, NeuchÃ¢tel and Kew-Teddington, and they were known as the Omega Observatory Tourbillons.

In 1947, Omega created the first tourbillon wristwatch calibre in the world with the 30I.

The 18K-gold watch is now kept in the Omega Museum in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland.

In 1892, Louis Brandt, the founder of Omega, manufactured the world's first minute repeating wristwatch in collaboration with Audemars Piguet, which provided the minute-repeating movement.
