OMEGA reveals METAS’ certified world’s first Master Chronometer

After a year of collaborating with the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) on a new watch certification, the Swiss luxury brand OMEGA has now defined a new standard of watchmaking for the entire industry. This year, METAS pronounced that OMEGA’s Globemaster is the first watch to achieve the “Master Chronometer” rating. While industry-standard COSC certification remains an integral part of OMEGA’s process, the new METAS testing will effectively double the certification of each watch, giving OMEGA and other Swiss watchmakers the opportunity to demonstrate the quality and timekeeping performance of their watches to a greater extent than has previously been possible.
