One of the most authentic Omega watches, De Ville Hour Vision, deserves to be classified among the brand’s flagship designs. It presents a beautiful combination of a cutting-edge technology and a stylish aesthetic form.
The central part of the Omega De Ville Hour Vision watch is its 360° see-through case that allows a nice view on the most important parts of the mechanism. Along with quite a lot of pleasure that this watch gives to the wearer, its innovative design also has a practical side. It provides an additional light that goes through the sapphire crystal sides and illuminates the rhodium dial, emphasizing beautifully polished curves of the case.
A domed anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal caseback also reveals components of the revolutionary Omega’s mechanism – Co-Axial Caliber 8500/8501 automatic movement. This officially certified chronometer comprises 39 jewels, a free sprung balance and a balance bridge instead of a balance cock. Its great precision, stability and durability are directly related with the brand’s exclusive Co-Axial Escapement. Thanks to the pair of barrels which are mounted in series, the Hour Vision can work 60 hours, even when it is not worn.
Eight Basic Variations
The next part of the Omega Hour Vision that can be marked as a true masterpiece, without any doubt is the dial. It features a grooved rhodium plated hour track that goes around the central part of the watch face, highlighting faceted solid gold hour markers. Minutes and hours hands, as well as the frame on the date window are also crafted in gold. A separate minute track is placed between the outer rim and the rhodium texture.
There are eight basic variations of the Hour Vision timepieces (the Omega Hour Vision Blue and the Hour Vision Co-Axial Skeleton Platinum, both launched as Special Editions, are also a part of the De Ville collection).
Basic models have 41 mm cases, made either with stainless steel or red gold. Steel variations are available with leather straps or steel bracelets – each combination comes with a silver or black dial.
Red gold models match either a brown leather strap or an elegant red gold bracelet. They go with a silver or brown dial. There is a slight difference between the cases of steel and gold Hour Vision watches. Those made of steel are powered by the Caliber 8500, while the gold cases house the Caliber 8501. The only difference between these mechanisms is that the latter has a rotor and a balance bridge crafted in red gold.
Omega De Ville Hour Vision Watch Still Silver Dial is definitely the most beautiful watch when I saw on your site. This watch refreshing and it has fantastic design. I like it!
Excellent and attractive model from Omega De Ville Collection….it looks very elegant and reliable…
This watch is the right choice for the urban man like me …..whether you’re in the office at a business meeting or that you have some sport activity, this model is the right choice for me…
I like the model with steel and black dial….it’s very unusual and looks good….
It might looks better if he had chronograph, but it’s still great without it…
This watch has an excellent movement. It`s very reliable and it has good quality. Omega is one of the best watch manufactures in the whole world. I cannot tell why, but whenever somebody starts a discussion about watches, I think of Omega. It`s really a number one brand among the watches.
I haven`t seen a beautiful watch for a long time. This is the reason why I want to buy this nice watch as soon as possible.
Eric just said that this watch brand is the best in the whole world. I don`t think so. I think that Omega has much better models in their collections. For example, Omega Seamaster 1200m Polprof .
These watches are for old people, not for young, ambitious and urban men like me. My opinion is that these kinds of watches shoudn`t be in this collection. It`s necessary to make a new collection which will be called “Old people watches” .
Jesus, my friend, I must agree and disagree with your comment. I agree with the statement that this kind of watch isn`t for young and urban people, but I disagree with the statement that it`s necessary to make a new collection. The watch looks just fine, elegant and there is no doubt that it`s very quality because of the Omega movement.
I agree with Roy`s comment. He is totally right. I am 61 and I still feel very young in spirit. This watch will give me a totally new view on the watches world, and it will be so good to see this watch on my hand. This watch is for young and at the same time for the older people. But the most important thing is how old you feel in a spiritual way.
