gmt-geek Skrev:Hej Torben

Tillykke med den nye batteri maskine - det går jo ikke at batterierne bare ligger og hober sig op i skuffen!

Ingen tvivl om at de ikke når at aflade sig selv med de batteri maskiner vi har anskaffet os på det sidste!!

Hvad er det helt præcis for en stump du mangler for at få din cal. 1516 op og køre igen??

Du kunne jo være at jeg faldt over den en dag.....

Vh. Jon

Tak skal du ha' Jon.
Dejligt, at du osse ser på det således, "Det er jo ikke for sjov, at der produceres ur-batterier. La' os nu få dem til at yde noget"

Fra artiklen: Omega Marine Chronometer Watch Technology, har jeg hentet nedenstående:

Citat:Then as now those times of turmoil seem highly confusing.
For during that brief period Omega sold L.E.D. digital watches containing Hamilton Pulsar modules (SSIH had bought part of the group that owned Hamilton's digital technology).
They sold watches with Bulova licensed ESA tuning fork movements, with optional modular chronograph work from Doubois-Depraz.
They (Omega?) also produced their own quite stunning tuning fork watch, that used a magnetically coupled 'micromotor' with sapphire 'springs' (by this time Max Hetzel was working for Omega,
and also on ways to get around the Bulova patents).
Omega also offered 8 kHz analog quartz watches with E.S.A. (E.T.A.) sourced movements, as well as soldiering on with a range of conventional mechanical watches and chronographs.
To mark the 1976 Olympic Games they produced the World's first quartz analog watch with built-in digital stopwatch, and they even introduced a new self-winding mechanical 'chronometer'/chronograph to celebrate
their 125 anniversary.
This, the collectable Seamaster 125 with its unique movement, had a reputed run of just 2,000.

This wonderfully creative nightmare lasted for just over a decade and in the end all this apparently heroic effort was to little avail in the face American and Japanese competition.
Japanese watch production increased by 10 times between 1974 and 1978, and so by the early 1980's it became just a case of finding a financially safe haven or sinking below the waves.
Omega was already part of the much larger SSIH group, which evolved into SMH, which these days calls itself Swatch.
Back to the Megaquartz 2400:

Formuleringen: "This wonderfully creative nightmare lasted for just over a decade.....", er meget beskrivende for min entusiasme for uret.

Det var en periode med formidabel, og kunne man sige, desperat(?) kreativitet. - Ønsker man at dyrke, eller blot "snuse" til denne kreativitet, er Omega det rette mærke.
F.eks. Rolex producerede aldrig et Marine Chronometer. På High End Quartz Forum, forklares dette med: "Der var ikke plads til mere tekst på skiven".

Marine Chronometerets kritiske reservedel er:

... det såkaldte "Motor Module". Konstruktionen er et horologisk og elektromekanisk mareridt.

Gennem 2 balancefjedre føres strøm frem til en spole, der er anbragt i en magnetspalte med kraftige magneter.
Både horologisk og elektromekanisk, bærer dette med rette benævnelsen: et anker.
Når spolen modtager elektrisk impuls, farer ankeret frem med en anseelig kraft, og afleverer "et sekund klik til ganghjulet".

Konstruktionen er kritisk, og ligeledes dens samarbejde med ganghjulet. - Som artiklen beskrev: "A wonderful creative nightmare"
