Fresh from the showcase here at SwissWatchExpo. Today, we've got another Omega DeVille that I
can't wait to talk to you about. The DeVille, such a unique watch. We've done a lot of them,
but each one of them feels so incredibly different including this one. So let's check it out.
So many great brands and luxury goods, not just in watches, but really across all luxury goods.
Want to seem like they're the new bad boy brand on the block that's breaking all the rules.
And one of the reasons why I love Omega as a brand is because they are not like that at all.
Because when it comes to the way they design their watches and their movements,
they never had any rules, to begin with. And one of the greatest examples of that is
this incredible DeVille. They will throw any complication into just about any watch that
you want. That's what I love. Whether you like Speedmasters, whether you like Planet Oceans,
Seamaster 300s. You can get them with GMTs, chronographs. You could get them with just
about any complication that Omega can come out with And you don't really have to worry about
waiting for some limited edition piece to run out to get the complication you want on your watch.
So, I said all that to talk about this incredible-looking DeVille here, because this is
just an absolute perfect example in proof of concept of the way that Omega designs their
watches. This is a beautiful rose gold watch. The DeVille traditionally considered more
of their dress line, but this is definitely one of the sportiest models I've ever seen.
And that's just due to the sheer size of this. This is a 44=millimeter case and they pretty
much had to make it this big so they could fit all these incredible complications inside. This,
of course, the model itself is called the DeVille Chronoscope, and this is a chronograph
and a GMT in this incredible dress case. But it is a very hefty dress case because
they were not going to fit anything and all of these complications here in a very thin
sort of ultra dress watch, but it does have a super sleek kind of old-school look to it.
And you could definitely tell, even though they have cramped a ton of information
into this dial. So let's go ahead and dig into it because that'll be the first thing
that you notice. And I absolutely love the way they've laid this out. The chronographs are very
balanced or should I say the sub-dials of the chronograph register, very balanced. The way
that you do have your second hand here at 3 and your 30-minute register or sorry, your second hand
at 9, your 30-minute register at 3. But I love what they did here with the hour register below
with the way they have two semicircles, which do sort of overlap with the existing two chronographs
and you have sort of two registers, one going up, I believe to 6 and the other one going up
to the remaining 12 hours, which I think is just such a fantastic way to show this.
And it is incredibly balanced and incredibly easy to read. And you are going to need that because,
in addition to this chronograph, you do also have the GMT. And you could see the coloring. We do
have the 24-hour GMT scale on the black track, which I don't know if you could pick it up,
but there is a black track around the edge of this dial in addition to the black sub-dials
within. And then the regular, you know, just the regular calendar is exhibited in brown,
which all of this goes beautifully with this 18-carat red gold case. And I think this is just
a great example and a great alloy that Omega uses and it looks fantastic as a dress watch.
It also looks incredibly impressive when you consider this is rose gold and how thick this
case is. This case is 15-millimeters thick and, of course, would have to be to sort
of fit all of the complications you get with this incredible dress watch here.
So this is while definitely dressy and classy. It's definitely not for a super slim wrist and
definitely not for someone who wants a super traditional dress watch because this will have
a very hard time fitting underneath your dress sleeve to say the least. But this will movement
is incredibly complicated and you can definitely look at it because we have a beautiful
exhibition caseback on the back of this massive 44-millimeter, 15-millimeter thick case, which
does exhibit this beautiful caliber 3603 movement. I did not recognize that caliber and that's of
course because I don't see a lot of watches that have all of these complications in them at once.
Certainly not a dress watch, but I can't think of anyone who would do that better than Omega. And,
of course, they would want to show off this beautiful Co-Axial movement on the back here.
To round this out, we do have a beautiful-looking alligator strap here in brown, which is really,
I think the only color which is going to go with a case like this and this incredible deployant.
I love the action on this. It is super smooth, super comfortable too, which is something you're
definitely going to appreciate because this is a very heavy watch. As you can imagine,
it has got so much going on here, but this is a great watch for really people who kind of want
to show off their horological taste a little bit because you could definitely tell, even at first
glance, even if you don't know anything about watches, one look at this dial can tell you,
this is a watch that can do a lot. And that is saying the least this Omega can do a ton.
If you want something simpler or something more dressy, we've got that too. But definitely
consider that even if you're into more complicated pieces, I'm thinking fans of like Vacheron and JLC
would definitely give this watch a look, even if they don't have any Omegas in their collection
already. But no matter what you're trying to do for your watch collection, whether you're trying
to start one, whether you're trying to add to one that's already very impressive. We've got the
watch for you. I promise. So check us out. Like and subscribe to these videos if you haven't yet,
