What makes it great?

Purely a timeless classic, the Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch is a timepiece that makes for a treasured item in the formal and ethnic wardrobes.

In its full details and charm:

A great dial and case styling and a reasonable price makes the Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch a substantial watch. But those are not what make it so special; it is the Co-Axial escapement (invented by Englishman Dr. George Daniels) that stays responsible. The large and loyal following it gathered over the years is not just because of its elegant design; it is also for the co-axial movement that’s chronometer certified. Pure luxury in a timeless design, it’s the style of the Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch that speaks volumes.

The Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch features a pristine white dial with gold-accented Roman numeral hour markers. The dial has a date window at 3 o’clock and is covered with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is mounted on an 18K yellow gold bezel. Measuring a very decent 36.8 mm across and fitted with a two-tone steel and yellow gold accented bracelet, at its heart it nests a Co-Axial calibre 2500.

The Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch looks way different than other models in the current De Ville Prestige line up, resembling more the famous Omega Constellation watches of the 1950’s, evident from the pie-pan dial, the rather large markers and the shape of the lugs. It is considerably hefty compared to its size, which adds all the more to its substantiality. It is also somewhat thicker than the Constellations of yesteryears and that’s what makes the initial impressions truly stunning.

The Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch is high-polish all over, including the dial and its elements; the case, the crown and the bracelet and its links. The uniform shine brings a great balance to its appearance.

The Co-Axial calibre 2500 the watch runs upon is based on the Omega Cal 1120, which is again a modified and decorated version of the ETA 2892-A2. It is the addition of the co-axial escapement that makes it almost an entirely new calibre. The chief difference is that the co-axial escapement bears two escape wheels that are mounted together and help in releasing the torque from the main spring. The two wheels working in conjunction has added jewels to reduce friction, (instead of two jewels sliding along the teeth of a single wheel, it has three jewels that just catch the edge of the teeth on two wheels) resulting in a longer life and extended service intervals. All that means:

When you buy the Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer 424.20.37.20.02.002 Mens Watch, you are buying complete peace of mind that will stay intact over the next couple of decades, to say the least.
