This week’s Ladies Watch of the Week is the Omega De Ville Ladymatic, a consummate celebration of simplicity and elegance from this Swiss specialist in luxury watch manufacture. Representing an exceptional melding of eminent design and innovative capabilities, the De Ville Ladymatic is a timepiece for those women who are not only seeking a watch with enviable aesthetics, but also a consummate paradigm of functional technology.
Initially unveiled in 1955, the Ladymatic wristwatch range has defined the standards of femininity within the horological industry for more than half a century. One of the pioneering self winding watches to be aimed at a female audience, this legendary brand name from Omega’s storied history has now risen back to full prominence with this breathtaking new model. With each model in the Ladymatic range possessing a fully certified chronometer status, the peerless reliability and comfortable elegance of the De Ville Ladymatic means that this is an ideal watch for any occasion.
The original Ladymatic was fitted with one of the smallest automatic watch movements ever created by Omega, and the De Ville Ladymatic upholds Omega’s omnipresent commitment to innovation by making use of the now iconic Omega co-axial calibre 8520/8521 movement. The co-axial heralded a transformation in the world of wristwatches when it first arrived on the scene in 1999, and even today the Si14 silicon balance spring within this masterpiece of engineering results in an unparalleled timepiece for combating impacts or instability.
The 34 mm case of the De Ville Ladymatic is available in lavish 18 carat red or yellow gold, classic stainless steel or even a striking unification of both mediums. The casebody of each model is distinctly selected to complement the case material, with titanium being used in combination with gold, and the stainless steel cases being appropriately mirrored by the same material within their interiors. The gold details upon the sides of the casebody can be delicately augmented with a wave patterned halo of white, brown or black ceramic, and the incredible clarity of the transparent Omega caseback means that it is possible to observe every minute detail of the interior co-axial movement.
Beneath the scratch resistant crystal dial, 11 diamonds are painstakingly embedded into the dial of the De Ville Ladymatic, combining to create a gleaming vision of the most refined style. This enthralling dial can be further customised in purple, grey and black, or even chosen in gorgeous mother of pearl. The vortex effect that emanates from the centre of the watches face is especially noticeable due to an optional preference to remove the hour markers of the De Ville Ladymatic, forming a dial that exudes minimalistic class. If chosen, this effect is also not spoiled by the diamond polished date aperture or the white Super-LumiNova hands that, combined with a 4 year warranty, make certain that this watch does not compromise on practicality.
The bezel of the De Vile Ladymatic can be amplified with a contrasting collection of snow set diamonds or bright stainless steel. Even the bracelet of the De Ville Ladymatic can be personalised through an assortment of strap materials, including 18 carat red or yellow gold, a bicolouring effect that marries gold links with stainless steel, and a satin leather effect that benefits from a choice of gold links. These bracelets have been supplied to suggest a sense of correspondence to the various case models and, thanks to the 100 m water resistance of the De Ville Ladymatic, will prove able to withstand even the most challenging of the world’s environments.
