Cycling computers have become miniature dashboards, but the revived Omata takes the opposite approach. Instead of another color screen, Silca’s Omata translates GPS measurements into the movement of mechanical hands, letting speed, distance, elevation gain, and ride time share one instrument-like dial.

Silca acquired the unusual cycling computer and brought production to Indianapolis. Its analog mechanism uses discontinued components developed with Seiko Precision Instruments, making the new run inherently limited. Behind the dial is a 72-channel GPS receiver and a mechatronic system with four stepper motors. The redesigned aluminum housing includes a rotating bezel, improved seals, and a Gore-Tex membrane over the barometric sensor to resist moisture.

Despite its vintage appearance, Omata records standard FIT files and communicates with ANT+ accessories for power, cadence, and heart-rate data. The iOS-only utility app transfers rides to training platforms, while USB-C charging supports up to 17 hours of use. The 83-gram computer now fits standard Garmin and Wahoo mounts.

Riders can choose imperial or metric displays, a meaningful distinction when the scale is physically printed on the face rather than rendered on a screen.

The Omata costs $800 through Silca, with a compatible Chisela mount included at no extra charge. Availability is limited by the remaining supply of its Seiko movement components; Android support has not been announced.
