The De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph in the OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection has a sober lacquered white dial, elegantly set off by the vintage red OMEGA symbol and name, black Arabic numerals and rhodium plated facetted hour, minute and small seconds hands, complemented by elegant 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph recorders with blue hands at 3 and 6 o’clock, respectively. The counterweight on the blue central chronograph seconds hand features the five coloured Olympic rings, in reference to OMEGA’s role as Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games. The De Ville Co-Axial collection represents the fine art of watchmaking in all respects. Its case design recalls the popular OMEGA models of the fifties; all models feature the exclusive OMEGA Co-Axial Escapement, which offers better accuracy over time. The De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph of the OMEGA Olympic Collection is powered by the OMEGA calibre 3202, a self-winding chronograph movement with official chronometer certification and a 52-hour power reserve. Protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on the inside and water-resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, it is available exclusively with a brown alligator leather strap and polished stainless steel foldover clasp.
De Ville Chronograph Ladies’
The De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph Ladies’ of the OMEGA Timeless Collection is a tribute to the Olympic Games and a celebration of the fine art of watchmaking. The diamond-set bezel and refined mother-of-pearl dial set off Arabic numerals in the official colours of the Olympic Games, with a diamond briolette on the crown completing the luxury touch. Elliptical counters add a subtly feminine refinement of the popular OMEGA models of the fifties. This superb Olympic Timeless Collection De Ville is powered by the high-end calibre 3313 self-winding chronograph movement, which is fitted with the OMEGA Co-Axial Escapement for better accuracy over time. The movement’s precision is attested by its chronometer certificate issued by the official Swiss chronometer testing institute COSC. It has a power reserve of 55 hours. Fitted with a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on the inside, this De Ville Co-Axial Chronograph Ladies’ is water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet and is available exclusively with a white alligator leather strap.
The OMEGA Olympic Timeless Collection will undoubtedly appeal to collectors of Olympic Games memorabilia, although the design of these unique timepieces is sure to interest admirers of classic timepieces as well, collectors of OMEGA chronographs in particular.
