OMEGA's Watchmaking Breakthrough

With the release of the new De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition, OMEGA takes an important step towards the advancement in the art of Tourbillon craftsmanship.

Like always, OMEGA pushes the boundaries of innovation with the all new DelVille Tourbillon Numbered Edition. Crafted in two precious alloys; the 43mm 18K white gold alloy Canopus™ gold case, buckle logo and crown logo and 18K Sedna™ gold lugs, bezel and caseback, the new timepiece is exceptional to say the least. Add to this the fantastically designed sun-brushed dial, also made of 8K Sedna™ gold, is provided with a twist. Instead of the fiery rose gold tinge, the alloy takes on a more captivating dark shade courtesy of the black PVD treatment. The star of the watch – the tourbillon cage resides at the centre of the dial with hand polished bevels in black ceramised titanium.

Powering the timepiece is OMEGA’s first ever Master Chronometer certified manual-winding central Tourbillon Calibre 2640 which can be viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback with the 3-day power reserve indicator. Apart from the Master Chronometer certification, the movement also serves as a testament of OMEGA's expert watchmaking ability by offering to keep the tourbillon cage rotating even under magnetic field of 15,000 gauss. Additionally, the tourbillon speed has been set to one revolution per minute which allows the display of seconds that is essential in achieving the certification. Amazing, isn't it?

Touted as an industry-changing wristwatch, the DelVille Tourbillon Numbered Edition is available with the brand's 5-year warranty and is delivered in a special box with a travel pouch and watch crown winder along with a certificate that mentions the specific number of each watch.
