Introducing The Omega De Ville Trésor 125th Anniversary Edition
A celebratory watch for a very big anniversary.

Quick Take


With 2019 marking the all-important 50th anniversary of the Moon landing and the Speedmaster's trip to the lunar surface, the fact that Omega is also celebrating its 125th anniversary has sort of gotten lost in the mix. Well, no more. Today Omega has announced a few special watches to mark its first century-and-a-quarter, including this stunning three-hander, the De Ville Trésor 125th Anniversary Edition. The watch starts out simply enough with a 40mm case in yellow gold but quickly becomes much more sumptuous from there – the dial and strap are both a rich burgundy red color that feels very appropriate for a celebratory watch like this. Matching that is a red enamel medallion on the solid caseback that has a very fin de siècle vibe about it, surrounded by an engraved pattern called damaskeening that Omega used on 19-ligne movements way back in the day. Under that caseback is the all new caliber 8929, the very first manually wound METAS-certified master chronometer movement from Omega (with the co-axial escapement, of course).

A stunning, and superb, manual wind, 125th anniversary, three hand, from Omega. Suave, sophisticated, and debonair. Thanks Mike.
