1978
Det er nok symptomatisk, at Ω-kabalen "går i stå" omkring dette år. - og jeg giver Baun ret, at det nok kan være nødvendigt, at frekventere nettet, for at "lægge en sten i hullet", og komme videre.
I artiklen: "Constellation Movements: Calibres 551 - 751", skriver Desmond Guilfoyle:
And, while electronic watches like Bulova added competitive pressure and prompted Omega to follow suit in some models,
the quartz explosion was still some years away and didn’t overtake mechanical watches in numbers produced until 1978.
The Swiss would say that Omega was forced by overwhelming circumstances to entertain notions of manufacturing to a price as opposed to a standard in the 1970s,
and it is pleasing to see that today it seems to be moving closer to its origins.
De stolte og gedigne værker i 500 serien, glider over i 751 og 752, hvorfor der nok kunne være grund til at dvæle ved 752 i en Ω-kabale.
I sit essay: The Calibre 752 Omega Constellation skriver han videre:
During the height of the Swiss watch crisis in the late nineteen-seventies, strange things are said to have happened at Omega.
Omega management - hitherto unyielding conformists to a discipline of correct process, order and Germanic precision
- was baffled to the point of stupefaction by the enormity and rapid onset of the quartz and throwaway watch phenomenon.
With the benefit of hindsight, this appears to have led to some poor and at times very curious decision-making that affected the integrity of the Constellation name,
the company’s manufacturing ethos and in the long term the market status of the brand.
The Omega Constellation 366.0857 was a child of these confusing times.
This model was powered by the nonchronometer calibre 752, and, along with the release of other calibre 10xx non-chronometer models,
it represented an extraordinary departure from the basic tenets of the Omega Constellation brand narrative.
As flagship marques of the Omega family, all previous Omega Constellation models were certified chronometers adjusted to achieve the highest testing bureaux citation
– that of achieving “especially good results”.
Med ovennævnte forfatters velvalgte ord, foreslår jeg Omega Constellation 366.0857:
.... som en værdig repræsentant for året 1978
