In the 1970s, George Daniels invented the co-axial escapement, which does not require lubrication, and applied for a patent for this type of lubrication in 1980. But it was not until 1994 that he was able to convince OMEGA, the first watch manufacturer, to mass-produce his co-axial escapement. In 1999, Breitling presented the world's first watches with a co-axial escapement with the "Omega De Ville" wristwatch series. This is also a special feature of the OMEGA de Ville line. Are you looking for a simple yet elegant watch? Then you will find exactly the right model for you in the wide range of the OMEGA De Ville line.
The Omega De Ville Co-Axial model is available in stainless steel and red gold. The strap is made of crocodile leather, stainless steel or red gold. The Omega De Ville Co-Axial uses the Omega 8500/8501 caliber as the movement. It is an automatic movement with a co-axial escapement for greater precision stability and durability of the movement. It also includes a free balance spring, date, hour, minute and running central second hand and is equipped with a power reserve of 60 hours. The Omega 8501 caliber is only used in the 18 red gold version of the watch.
The watch glass is made of domed, anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire glass. The Omega De Ville Co-Axial model is waterproof up to a depth of 100 meters, or more precisely 330 feet. The case diameter of the Omega De Ville Co-Axial is 41 mm. Other features of the De Ville Co-Axial include the date display, the central seconds display and a transparent case back, as always with the De Ville series with chronometer certification.
