OMEGA De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition 43 mm, Canopus Gold™ on leather strap 529.53.43.22.99.001

Description

Handcrafted by a select group of horologists at OMEGA’s Atelier Tourbillon in Switzerland, this Numbered Edition timepiece combines a true example of watchmaking art with the brand’s most advanced and beautiful alloys.

The brushed 43 mm case is made from 18K Canopus Gold™ with a polished bezel, lugs, and caseback, along with a sun-brushed 18K Sedna™ Gold dial that includes a logo and wording in dark grey. The dial is further split between a fluted central ring made from 18K Canopus Gold™ and the outer sections with 18K white gold hour/minute hands and indexes that have all been given a Canopus Gold™ PVD coating.

To enhance the effect, the tourbillon titanium bridge with hand-polished bevelling is set with a diamond-polished 18K Canopus Gold™ seconds hand. On the back, an 18K Sedna™ Gold, PVD-blackened hand indicates the Power Reserve of the watch. The crown, also in polished 18K Canopus Gold™, features a Ω set in 18K Sedna™ Gold.

Presented on a brown leather strap with a polished 18K Canopus Gold™ buckle, the watch includes a sapphire crystal caseback that allows a view of the 18K Sedna™ Gold movement: OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 2640. Each Tourbillon is delivered in special box with a certificate of authenticity, a travel pouch and a watch crown winder.

Features

• Anti-magnetic: The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).
• Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has been successfully tested by an accredited and independent laboratory in order to receive a certificate compliant with the chronometer ISO 3159 standard.
• Master Chronometer Certified: Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
• Numbered edition: A watch series each of whose pieces is numbered sequentially in the order it is produced.
• Power reserve indicator: A dial or gauge on the watch which indicates how much time remains before the mainspring must be wound or the battery changed.
• Tourbillon: An ingenious principle which solves the tricky problem of adjusting mechanical watches. All the components of the escapement (escape wheel, pallets wheel, pallets fork and balance spring) are grouped together in a small mobile cage which makes one rotation per minute. This eradicates any differences in rate due to different positions of the watch and thus guarantees optimal precision for a mechanical watch.
• Transparent caseback: A transparent caseback – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
