- At the launch of the new Speedmaster Super Racing at Omega's HQ in Bienne, Wei speaks with VP of Product, Gregory Kissling, to learn in detail about the brand's latest groundbreaking invention, the Spirate System. Kissling gives a masterclass on the unique geometry of the Spirate's silicon hairspring that has been formed through Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) and features a flexible blade whose stiffness is adjusted from a micro-adjustment system called the "tuner". Modifying the stiffness of the aforementioned flexible blade changes the frequency of the free-sprung balance, varying the rate to an extremely precise degree of finesse of 0.1 seconds per day. The Speedmaster Super Racing's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 9920 is capable of a certified, industry-leading accuracy of 0/+2 seconds per day. Verticalization within the Swatch Group has enabled innovations such as the Spirate System to flourish and there couldn't be a better brand but Omega to unveil it to the world.

I love that accuracy is finaly improved and not only by saying that, but proving it on paper. Bravo OMEGA!
Incredible, can’t wait for this to be implemented on the Seamaster 😊
Omega is such an accessible brand.💯
I've never seen a Rolex representative explaining anything..
Rolex has not released much innovation in the last 60 years. Just some dials and bezel updates. There’s a reason Rolex has solid case backs.
Actually that's not true. They do come up new small technological improvements. They just don't advertise it. Examples are their chronergy escapement and the Syloxi spring which is similar to Omega's Spirate.
In 1973 Omega made the first chronometer certified chronograph: the unique Omega Speedmaster 125th with the cal. 1041.
Exacly half a century after the cal. 1041 Omega now introduces the new cal. 9920. Coincidence?
Love Omega innovativing!
P.S.
Hope they make a central minute chronometer chronograph again!
This interview really explains the Spirate so well. In words, I guess we would say you are able to change the 'stiffness' of the balance spring, but actually, you're attaching the silicone balance spring to another spring, and you're adjusting that second spring rather the balance spring. I felt this was easier for me to explain to people by imaging that a balance spring would be attached to something similar to a rubber band. This can have a similar, and maxbe even different effect of an overcoil hairspring. I am buying!
Brilliant interview! This is exactly why I like Omega, constantly innovating
Thanks for this, I understand it now (finally!)
1848 - 2023 = 175 years Omega ... now there's an anniversary ! 🤔🧐
The ability to adjust post production to the individual user is really attractive.
Any expected timeframe for adding to seamaster line?
Timeframe for adding to Seamaster line?
Very interesting and exciting horologically!
Did Wei fall of his bike?!
Omega is for sure a superb brand. I love Gregory and his way to introduce and explain the watches - a real engineer who cares for detail - see the videos by Watchadvisor Alexander.
But there is the behavior of the brand: the endless new editions, the crazy website .... it is turning me off. It doesn't fit for me as a serious high End Swiss brand. Omega is not Casio. Less is more. Just my opinion - Great talk, Great video - many thanks to you both! Hope that Gregory will get some influence on the marketing :)
A certain watch company has become obsolete overnight (how can you NOT regulate or respond to this revolution? 🦄⌚
...bro
PLEASE OMEGA update these Speedmasters up to 10bar to make it a real Daytona compatitor!
Who at Omega has this fixation on combining chronograph hours and minutes in a sub register? Five families of watches have this annoying illegible feature: 57, chronoscope, side of the moon, racing, and moon phase. Each with multiple family members so ~+20 watches! That’s too much illegibility.
it seems you will lose the date window with 3 subdials.
