The cal 8800 is Omega's Master Chronometer-rated automatic, passing all eight METAS tests including resistance to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss. It slims down the 8500 architecture and is the current movement in the Seamaster 300M. The METAS certification on the cased watch is unusual in the industry and is a genuine differentiator at the price point.
