FLAMBOYANT JEWEL
This refined creation unveiled by the Biel-based watchmaker arrives just in time for the festive events of the end of the year. Its brilliance will enhance every elegant and delicate wrist…
Intended for a demanding female clientele, the new De Ville Trésor watch signed by Omega presented at this year-end, features a crucial asset to seduce them: its dial crafted in malachite. A symbol of eternal youth in ancient Egypt, this stone has graceful striations in multiple shades of green. Its name derives its Latin origins from ancient Greek, meaning voluptuous or effeminate depending on the context. These two adjectives fit malachite like a glove, often used to perfect sumptuous jewelry. In this instance, its luminous hues blend perfectly with those of the 36mm casing crafted in 18K MoonshineTM gold. This is an alloy introduced in 2019 by the company that is paler than traditional gold, yet offers better resistance to color loss. The precious nature of the timepiece is enhanced by the setting of 38 diamonds along the case middle and a diamond nestled within the crown.
The slim hour and minute hands make their respective revolutions, pointing to an hour circle composed of elongated Roman numerals powered by the caliber 4061. This quartz movement is distinguished by its “long-life” function maximizing its battery.
The De Ville Trésor Malachite can be worn on a choice of two straps. One in leather is color coordinated with the dial. The other in Milanese mesh is fashioned from the same precious metal as the casing. Whichever version you prefer, the watch comes with a 5-year warranty.
