The X-33 presents Omega with a large pair of shoes to fill and Omega seems to have combined many different elements into a super legible and retro-inspired design.
The Spacemaster Z-33 features a 43 mm titanium case which is 19.85 mm thick and 53 mm lug to lug. The titanium crown controls the analogue hands while the pushers control the Z-33′s many features.
The Z-33 uses its twin lcd displays to show date, UTC, dual timezones, chronograph, countdown timer, alarm and perpetual calendar information.
Omega does not make direct reference to the accuracy of this
new movement but we hope that it will provide better accuracy than
standard quartz movements which run +/- 15 seconds a month.
Omega has also included a flight log feature that will allow pilots to log flight data with date and hour indications. The twin displays look very cool with red-on-black readouts and they even a feature a back-lighting system which automatically adapts its brightness to ambient lighting conditions.
The Z-33 comes fitted with a sapphire crystal and a solid case back designed to amplify the alarm tone and still provide a minimal 30m (100ft) of water resistance.
The flaw of most ana-digi watches is that the screens are often obstructed by the hands as they display analogue time. Omega battles this issue in two stages on the Z-33, combining the pass-though view of a skeleton handset with the ability to have the hands disengage and point in a direction that does not block either screen (activated by pressing the 8 o’clock pusher).
Both analogue and digital functions are managed by the new Omega 5666 thermo-compensated quartz movement which is powered by a traditional lithium battery that should last about two years before needing to be replaced.
