EPITOME OF ELEGANCE
An iron fist in a velvet glove. This elegant piece from the Bienne-based watchmaker boasts state-of-the-art Master Chronometer engineering and is as tough as they come.
Keep your Speedmaster or your Seamaster for action and adventure! For your formal evenings or your professional appointments where you exude unquestionable panache, Omega invites you to flaunt its De Ville Trésor Power Reserve. A refined upgrade of a model unveiled in its contemporary version back in 2014, its 40 mm-diameter, 10.07 mm-thick 18K yellow gold case protects a slightly-silvered, domed dial, featuring an ever-so delicate composition. The fine curved hour and minute hands hover over an hour chapter void of numerals, which have been replaced by slimline indexes. A minimalist-styled small-seconds counter at 6 o’clock and power reserve indicator at 12 complete the scenography.
All the time data is driven by a hand-wound movement. The high-performing Omega 8935 Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber equipped with a silicon balance spring beats at a frequency of 25,000 vibrations an hour. Two series-coupled barrels deliver 72-hours’ autonomy to the timepiece. This sturdy, accurate, magnetic-field-resistant model has been granted double chronometric certification issued by the COSC and by METAS, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. The sapphire-crystal caseback invites to admire the luxurious decorations and finishes of the caliber components.
To ensure the De Ville Trésor Power Reserve is perfectly classy and comfortable on the wrist, it is complemented by a taupe-hued leather strap that harmoniously matches the shade of the case’s precious metal. Exquisite!
