We covered news of Omega's anti-magnetic 8508 calibre when it was announced back in January. The movement was shown fitted in an Aqua Terra model which is now available for purchase as the Omega Aqua Terra >15,000 Gauss. Using a special version of Omega's co-axial 8500 series, the >15,000 Gauss is the world's first completely anti-magnetic watch. While other brands have a long history of producing magnetic-resistant watches like the Rolex Milgauss or the IWC Ingenieur, Omega's solution is not to shield the movement but rather to produce the movement using non-ferrous materials.
