We start the day with a visit at The Swatch Group in Stockholm, SWEDEN.

Here we started a private tour, me and Tony by Claes Nilsson, who started with watchmakers where the service or repairs
made by the brands that The Swatch Group itself does in Sweden.

The watchmakers working at full speed for us to get back our watches as quickly as possible.

The final assembly of a Rado.

They boast a pompous spare parts.

The boxes will never end.

Parts to the most brands in The Swatch Group.

Then it was time to put us at school and undergo an Omega training.

It started with a historical briefing where many interesting things that we had not a clue Omega come up with. There are a lot
part that Omega was the first that I thought other brands had done before.

Today is the co-axial movement which are synonymous with Omega and the refined and come a long way.

The latest co-axial movements do have a cruel accuracy as Omega soon came to the conclusion that since no works defaulted in the
COSC testsOmega wanted to take it a step further. When contacted by METAS that will take time accurate deviation to a higher level,
after tests magnetization of 15,000 gauss and then demagnetization, boiling the watch with direct cooling with cold water also tested
 the water proofness. Since being tested at the six positions (5 of COSC) and a deviation of 0-5 seconds, the watch is ready for METAS
to approve this. When this test is approved the movement is Master Chronometer certified.

These watches comes with a certificate in the form of a plastic card.

As the owner can log in with at Omegas website.

And get all the test results of his watch.

After this interesting going through that it was time for a visit to the chief watchmaker who told us about the co-axial movement.

As seen here with all it's parts.

We even got to watch up close.

Then we got a going through of the difference in co-axial vs traditional.

And here we can see it in 3 levels to get a better understanding of the co-axial.

The day ended with that we were told that we passed the theory test and was approved.

A big thanks to everyone involved at The Swatch Group and especially Claes Nilsson and Christer Lindå.
