Omega De Ville Central Tourbillon Co-Axial Chronometer

Posted by wristwatch on September 26, 2007

Invented over 200 years ago, the tourbillon movement is still considered the pinnacle of watchmaking. This year OMEGA rises to the challenge and takes this jewel of haute horlogerie into the 21st century by introducing the Co-Axial escapement into the movement. Furthermore, this De Ville chronometer places the tourbillon in the centre of the movement and as is fitting of such an achievement, the tourbillon and its Co-Axial escapement are visible through the dial. The materials and aesthetics match the daring of this mechanical innovation: the tourbillon cage is made of titanium and the bridges and plates are finished in a striking chocolate brown colour. The movement is housed in a 38.7 mm 18-carat red gold case with matching red gold hands, screws and wheels.
