At Banks Lyon Jewellers, we’re often asked what our favourite watch brand would be, and that’s a very hard question for us to answer. Of course, each member of our experienced staff team has their own preferences, which doesn’t make it any easier to arrive at a conclusion, but it’s fair to say that Omega would be one of the strongest contenders for that title. One of the genuine giants in Swiss ocular horology, Omega’s varied portfolio never fails to impress us, and you may have noticed that we’ve been showcasing a few Omega watches on Facebook over the last few days. However, a few more details never go amiss, so here’s some further information about two of our chosen watches…
Omega De Ville Trésor Master Co-Axial
We spoke about the latest introduction to the Omega De Ville Trésor family some months ago, and if you’ve been keeping an eye on our website and social media feeds you’ll have noticed that it serves as the focus of our latest video blog. We’re absolutely delighted with this particular watch, as we ordered it quite some time ago, and we’re proud to be one of the few stockists to have access to such an elegant model. A consummate dress watch, even the buckle on this timepiece is 18 carat gold, and the dial is decorated with a myriad of tiny pyramid emblems; it’s quite a spectacle.
A feature of this Trésor is the incredibly slim dimensions. All told, it’s only 11 mm thick, yet it still manages to house a fully anti-magnetic manually wound master co-axial 8511 movement with 30 jewels, and boast a 60 hour power reserve. As an added complication, the innovative crown allows the user to adjust the hour hand only, which is an invaluable help when abroad. The Omega De Ville Trésor master co-axial yellow gold watch is available for £8,730, or on 0% finance for 36 monthly payments of £194 and a 20% deposit. Whoever said that form and function were mutually exclusive?
Omega De Ville Prestige ‘Butterfly’
The De Ville family certainly has no shortage of stellar timepieces to call upon if you’re seeking a stylish new dress statement, and if the charm behind our previously mentioned Trésor took the form of a very ‘warm’ aesthetic, the beauty of this ‘Butterfly’ model is as different as day is from night; specifically, a starry night in this case. The dial is absolutely studded with glittering diamonds, and also exhibits a gloriously unique ‘butterfly’ pattern that can only be attained by using a ramolayage (or ‘pounced ornament’) technique. Inspired by nature, this De Ville is truly enchanting to behold.
Once again, this is a timepiece that is best-suited to serving as a dress watch, yet this time the movement is quartz in nature – as per the preference of most feminine watch enthusiasts – and the strap is a matched stainless steel bracelet. The Omega De Ville Prestige quartz ‘Butterfly’ watch is on sale today at Banks Lyon for just £2,090, or alternatively in 36 monthly instalments of £46.44 and a 20% deposit, with additional flexible finance options on offer as well if preferred. If you’d like to find out any further information about these watches, please be sure to contact the Banks Lyon team today by calling 01524 38 48 58 and we’ll be delighted to help you locate your ideal wristwatch.
