The Omega had exactly the same design as the Centered Tone. It *was* a Centered Tone and had the CT logo.

The Omega was marketed as Selmer's top model, with several extras. It had 3 barrels and 3 interchangeable register vent inserts with a special wrench to change them; the keys had phosphor bronze bushings, which were claimed not to need oil; the joints on each instrument were claimed to be made from a single piece of grenadilla, to make them vibrate together; it had a gorgeous leather case with an extra-thick velvet lining and a special lock and key, plus the special register rmechanism, double-thick silver plating, engraving on the bell and the bottom of the lower joint, and so on. It had a retail price of $500, compared with around $400 for the CT. At tht time, you could order a Buffet R13 from Paris for $125 withut a case.
