Omega DeVille Co-Axial Réserve de Marche

Partially verified

This Omega DeVille Co-Axial Réserve de Marche, catalogued as lot 67, is a self-winding chronometer wristwatch featuring a 44-hour power reserve indicator. The watch is constructed in stainless steel with a three-body case featuring a stepped bezel and fluted, concave lugs. The black dial is equipped with applied steel indexes, luminous dots, and "Alpha" luminous steel hands. It includes a date aperture and an up-and-down power reserve display at the 6 o'clock position. The timepiece is powered by the rhodium-plated Caliber 2627 movement, which utilizes 29 jewels and incorporates the George Daniels co-axial escapement. The movement is finished with "fausses côtes" and "oeil-de-perdrix" decoration and includes a monometallic balance with a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance-spring. The watch is presented on a stainless steel Omega bracelet with a deployant clasp.

Object description

Case and Dial

The timepiece is housed in a three-body stainless steel case characterized by its polished finish. The case design features a stepped bezel and fluted, concave lugs that connect to the bracelet. The case back is secured by screws and is embossed with the manufacturer's logo. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal.

The dial is black and features applied steel indexes paired with luminous dots for legibility. Timekeeping and power reserve functions are indicated by "Alpha" luminous steel hands. An aperture at the 3 o'clock position provides the date, while a power reserve indicator labeled 'up-and-down' is positioned at the 6 o'clock mark.

Evidence for this section
  • “C. three-body, polished, screwed-down case back embossed with logo, stepped bezel, fluted and concave lugs, sapphire crystal.”
  • “D. black with applied steel indexes and luminous dots, up-and-down indication at 6, aperture for the date. "Alpha" luminous steel hands.”

Movement and Escapement

Powering the watch is the Omega Caliber 2627, a self-winding movement designed for chronometer performance. The caliber is rhodium-plated and decorated with both "fausses côtes" and "oeil-de-perdrix" motifs. It utilizes 29 jewels to minimize friction within the mechanism.

The escapement is a signature George Daniels co-axial mechanism. The regulation system includes a monometallic balance, a shock-absorber, and a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance-spring, ensuring stable timekeeping and a 44-hour power reserve.
