SACRED FIRE
The Bienne-based firm enhances its precious collection, designed for showing off the most elegant wrists, with three sumptuous newcomers, dressed from head to toe in gold and sprinkled with diamonds.
A treasure is a quantity of precious objects set aside, often hidden” according to the Collins Dictionary, or the sweet endearment we call a loved one. For Omega, watchmaker by trade, Trésor is a watch (of course), belonging to the De Ville collection, and a dazzling one at that (of course, too). As celebrations highlighting a rather complex end of year are just around the corner, the Bienne-based firm unveils three spectacular new pieces, three jewels which tell the time.
The 36 mm-diameter case, totally out-of-the-ordinary with its two parallel arms scattered with diamonds which taper out along the dial in opposite directions to each other so as to spread over two of the four lugs, is crafted in MoonshineTM, a gold alloy which is paler than the traditional yellow and more resistant to color changes. Its crown which blossoms like a corolla embraces a gemstone and is engraved with a red-lacquered flower, which is also to be discovered on the caseback’s mirrored circle.
Three dial styles are proposed, from the most discreet to the most dazzling: coated with a brilliant white cloak, in textured MoonshineTM gold like silk with its relief patterns and criss-cross interlacing, and sprinkled with diamonds of various sizes, strewn using the snow-set technique. A duo of golden Lancine-shaped hands emerges from the center of this fairytale scenescape, pointing to the hours and minutes, hovering over slender Roman numerals.
The centerpiece of this sumptuous trio driven by the Omega 4061 quartz caliber is its bracelet which is created entirely in MoonshineTM gold and fashioned like fabric.
Price: CHF39,300 (stone-set dial) – CHF24,200 (white or gold dial)
