Omega advances in the tourbillon craftsmanship with the De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition
Pushing the boundaries of innovation with every turn, Omega presents the all-new antimagnetic De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition
THROUGHOUT ITS LONG HISTORY, Omega has earned a special reputation for its advancements in the art of tourbillon craftsmanship. Today, the next chapter in the story is unveiled with the release of the new De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition.
The exceptional timepiece is Omega’s first ever Master Chronometer-certified manual winding central tourbillon watch. Not only does this certification assure the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision and performance, it also serves as a testament to the manufactory’s expert watchmakers, who have produced a tourbillon cage that is able to keep rotating smoothly even under the influence of magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. The skilled watchmakers at Omega has also set the tourbillon’s speed to one revolution per minute, allowing the display of seconds, which is essential to achieving the certification.
Customers can view the impressive Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 2640 through the sapphire crystal case-back, and also note its three-day power reserve indicator. Adding to the beauty and luxury of the overall design, the bridges and main plate are made of 18k Sedna gold, and have been hand-bevelled for a decorative finish.
Beyond the superb accuracy is the aesthetic, which incorporates the brand’s watchmaking expertise and advanced materials, including two precious alloys made famous by Omega. Presented on a black leather strap, the 43mm central case-body, buckle logo and crown logo are made of 18k Canopus gold ‒ an exclusive white gold alloy, distinctive for its high brilliance, whiteness and longevity. Meanwhile, the lugs, bezel and case-back of the watch are formed in 18k Sedna gold ‒ Omega’s own fiery rose-gold alloy. The sun-brushed dial is also crafted in 18k Sedna gold, but has been given a captivating dark shade, thanks to its black PVD treatment.
An unmistakable feature at the centre of the dial is the tourbillon cage with hand polished bevels in black ceramised titanium. This ingenious device drives the movements of the hands, giving the timepiece its unique and mysterious allure.
Each timepiece has been handcrafted by a select group of horologists at Omega’s Atelier Tourbillon, taking around an entire month of dedicated work to complete.
The new De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition comes with Omega’s full five-year warranty, and is presented in a special box complete with a travel pouch, crown winder and a certificate that mentions the specific number of the watch.
