It's impossible to put it another way -- the omega seamaster replica Twin Beat Perpetual Kalender is the most important horological innovation this year, and one of most innovative ever.

As I was preparing for the launch, I kept reminding people that it isn't just a new watch. It's a different kind of watch. omega seamaster replica twin beat perpetual calendar is the first watch to allow you to switch between a high frequency balance and a lower-frequency balance. This extends the power reserve up to 65 days. It's like being able to adjust your gears to optimize fuel consumption.

These are the basics of how it works. The energy source for any watch movement is the mainspring barrel. It's a coiled spring that unwinds in order to give energy to the balance. This allows your watch to keep its time. The frequency of the balance determines how often this energy is released. Energy is released at a rate of 10 times per minute in a 5Hz balance.Patek Philippe Replica Watches It's also released 8 times per sec in a 4Hz balanced, 6 times in a 3Hz balance and so on. You can see that a higher balance frequency will result in your mainspring draining at a faster pace, while a lower balance frequency will result in a greater power reserve.

Why aren't all watches able to run on low frequency balances and have longer power reserves? There are performance tradeoffs. Low-frequency balances can be more easily disturbed than high-frequency.omega seamaster fake If you alter the balance, it can affect chronometric performance. This is a bad idea if your watch needs to keep good time.

You can switch between the two modes of the omega seamaster replica Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar: Active mode (which runs off a 5Hz balance) and Standby mode (which runs off a 11.2Hz balance). The Active mode can be worn every day and has a four-day power reserve. This is a significant improvement over the two-day power reserve of most 5Hz watches.

You can set the watch aside if you don't plan to wear it for a while. The frequency drops and the power reserve increases. Wind the watch until it reaches the 65-day power reserve.

Ok, that's great. But why is long power reserve so important to you? You guys, the perpetual calendar! Perpetual calendars have the name because they can keep track of the calendar without any manual input.audemars piguet replica watches They also distinguish between short and longer months and account for the extra day in leap years. The perpetual calendar's power reserve is what limits its usefulness. You must update the calendar indicators if you don't use it for more than a few weeks. First, no one has the time. A perpetual calendar is better than a simple one.

Twin Beat allows you to wear your watch six times per year and once every two weeks. You still get accurate calendar indications each time you strap it on. This is a huge advantage. The omega seamaster replica Dual Beat Perpetual Calendar is the closest thing you can get to a perpetual calendar that works in perpetuity.

It's a watch that takes good care of itself and takes care your time.omega seamaster replica Vacheron Constantin deserves all credit for creating this amazing concept. It's both a philosophical and mechanical triumph.

Stay tuned for an in-depth look at the mechanical innovations that went into this watch's creation. We'll see you at SIHH.
