A modern tourbillon milestone by Omega
Alvin Wong
Centre Of Attraction

Omega have just made arguably the toughest tourbillon on the planet with the De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition. The world’s first-ever handwound tourbillon to be certified a Master Chronometer, the De Ville Tourbillon Numbered Edition is rigorously constructed and tested to boast unmatched performance standards that include magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss and accuracy of +5/-0 seconds per day.

For those who are unfamiliar with Master Chronometers, it is a certification standard that Omega introduced in 2015 for its ultra-robust CoAxial movements that are already COSC-certified and engineered for high levels of anti-magnetism. The tests are actually conducted by an independent body known as METAS (Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology), and comprise an eight-point checklist that covers the aforementioned daily precision deviation and magnetic resistance, as well as water resistance and power reserve.
