Omega De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition Watch Goes Anti-Magnetic & Master Chronometer-Certified

A familiar face appears again with the Omega De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition and its trademark center-mounted tourbillon Originally debuted in 1994, what's new is a solid gold movement with a Master Chronometer certification that entails anti-magnetic properties - a first for an Omega tourbillon - and a stunning new caseback view on this hand-wound caliber Powered by the bar-none exquisite-looking Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 2640, the latest De Ville Tourbillon has its bridges and mainplate crafted from solid 18k Sedna Gold, Omega's proprietary gold alloy that is also used for parts of the case.

Attaining such properties on a low-production, highly exclusive caliber such as the Omega Caliber 2640 must have required heavy investment into R&D Add to this the fact that most all manufactures prefer not to have their tourbillon movements submitted to COSC or other chronometry performance tests for the simple reason that wristwatch tourbillon movements are a pain to reliably regulate, and this movement powering through magnetic fields while attaining the aforementioned strict tolerance in timekeeping becomes all the more respectable Well into six figures, that's a given - but it has to be said Omega has really set out to prove its worth in the haute horlogerie game with the new Omega De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition.

Water-resistance is 3 bar, but you should wear the Omega De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition more around magnets than standing water Though it's a numbered edition, unlike other limited edition watches of Omega, the De Ville with its central tourbillon won't be restricted to a set number of pieces - instead, those few that will be made will have their individual number displayed on the back of the movement. .
