Omega Introduces World's First Ceramic and Liquidmetal ® alloy watch

 October 28, 2009 in Beijing, officially released Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal ® limited edition watch, which is also the world's first ceramic watch with Liquidmetal ® alloys.

 In the Swatch Group, Omega R & D personnel and product development team sincere cooperation under the extraordinary ceramic diving bezel turned out to - Liquidmetal ® alloy showing the number and scale eye-catching silver, and black ceramic bezel contrasts. Ceramic dial the same color black light bloom, a perfect match with the bezel. Only pioneer innovation process, before the field of achievement of this aesthetic masterpiece watches.

 The very style of the world's first ceramics and Liquidmetal ® alloy sale 1948 limited edition watch to commemorate the Omega watch the popular series of the birth of the hippocampus year - 1948.

Liquidmetal ®: seamless and hardness superior

 Liquidmetal ® alloys are non-crystalline metals, which is a disorder, and have a non-crystalline atomic structure of metal material. Liquidmetal ® alloy melting point is only half the melting point of conventional titanium alloys, but when it is cooled into a solid state, the hardness of steel are able to reach 3 times. Liquidmetal ® alloys of non-crystalline structure makes it a seamless interface with the ceramic bezel into one.

 Liquidmetal ® is a zirconium, titanium, copper, nickel and beryllium five kinds of metals consisting of a non-crystal alloy. With its own very low cooling rate, non-crystal alloy can be formed slightly larger than 0.1 mm thickness of the structure. In the Liquidmetal ® alloys, and by the zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) ceramic material constituted, the zirconium is extremely important to the composition of elements.

 In the end, these two kinds of hardness, superior integration of the material, making an extremely smooth bezel has a strong anti-wear and anti-corrosion.

Omega presents ceramics and the perfect integration of Liquidmetal ® alloys

 First of all, it will first ceramic bezel. After the ceramic bezel etched out on a minute scale figures and representatives of fine lines and carry out polishing. After heated alloy is pressed into grooves etched into ceramic out, and then remove the excess of Liquidmetal ® alloys. Compared to the manufacturing area watches often used for other metals, Liquidmetal ® alloy can be carried out at a lower temperature processing, which makes the heating process will not result in any damage to ceramic bezel.

 After Liquidmetal ® alloy material on the number and scale to Lassa polished. Ceramic is more harder than the alloy, so meticulous, and does not affect the Lassa polished ceramic bezel. Finally, the number and scale with the smooth ceramic bottom circle in sharp contrast.

 Further improve the durability characteristics of watches

 Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal ® limited edition watch, using steel material case and bracelets, and carrying 2,500 Omega Coaxial revolutionary movement. Precision watch movement ensures the reliability of long-run performance, the perfect match of the ceramics and Liquidmetal ® material is formed on the external corrosion and wear full protection. This reflects the pure Omega origin: a masterpiece of the world's first watch design, has inherited the classic exterior style, fusion technology, innovation and coaxial.
