TOUGH TOURBILLON

While not as widely known as the Speedmaster or Constellation lines, Omega’s De Ville is home to some remarkable pieces. One of these was the De Ville Tourbillon, first introduced to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary in 1994 and featuring the rare central tourbillon. It’s obviously received plenty of improvements since, but the most significant is arguably from this year’s edition. The De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition is Master Chronometer-certified, meaning it’s the first anti-magnetic tourbillon in the world. The all-new, manual-winding calibre 2640 has a 72-hour power reserve courtesy of two visible barrels and the mainplate and bridges are crafted from 18K Sedna gold to match the 43mm case. This isn’t a limited edition but is a numbered production.
