Who doesn’t fantasize about being able to be in two different places at once? The new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time defies longitudes to travel through time and space. The latest offering from the Manufacture's workshop makes it possible to know the time in two parts of the world at a glance, thanks to its dual time function. Playing with human boundaries, it offers a personal relationship to space and time following the regular course of its two hour hands. Its design and features have been studied with the greatest care to epitomize the spirit of freedom.

Simple and clear, the dial on the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time is also easy to read. Technically, the dual time feature has been designed for comfortable handling and is quick to set using two pushbuttons. The 1966 Dual Time completes the line of timepieces with complications for travelers, like the old captain's watches and current WW.TC collection with universal time function.

One dial for a dual space-time continuum

Legibility is paramount for the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time with a pure and clearly ordered dial design. Local time is indicated by two leaf hands, and is also visible in the dark due to the hands' luminescent material. On the surface of the dial, baton indicators mark the hour and the minutes are indicated by a "railroad style" track.

Located toward the center to create a perspective, the second time zone dial is curved to perfectly fit the shape of the case and create harmonious volumes. The red hand that gives the reference time (the dual time zone) moves over a central disk with embossed satin-finish, graduated over 24 hours.

The Brand completes its timekeeping expertise by adding an adjustable date to the dual time function, via a corrector located at 4 o'clock. Ethereal in design, it appears at 6 o'clock on a microdial rimmed with a fine godron. State-of-the-art design and production allows harmonious insertion of the home time into the ring.

The visual power of the dial is also the result of its construction at several levels and textural effects underscore the defining features. This structure, offering tremendous perspective, also makes the watch comfortable to read.

Smooth curves

Crafted in pink gold, the case on the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time honors the classic style of this collection and perfectly coincides with the Brand's timekeeping expertise. Measuring 40 mm in diameter, it presents clever curve and powerful line effects. The slightly convex sapphire crystal is surrounded by a beveled, polished bezel.

The lugs snugly follow the lines of the wrist for added comfort and cutting edge design. The second time zone function has required the integration of two sleek pushbuttons on both sides of the fluted crown. Precisely proportioned, they are used to quickly adjust the hour hand to the local time and in turn lend a nobility to the timepiece.

Inside the case, the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time incorporates the new exclusive GP03300-0094 caliber. This self-winding mechanical movement offers hours, minutes, central seconds, 2nd time zone - 24 hours - and date at 6 o'clock. The watch has a minimum power reserve of 46 hours and its components have been decorated individually with simplicity and elegance. The sapphire caseback reveals the secrets of a beautiful watchmaking tradition that’s always in search of the next great movement.

OMEGA – De Ville Central Tourbillon Red Gold
















OMEGADe Ville Central Tourbillon Limited Edition NEW

Complete with a golden case and Co-Axial calibre, this new wristwatch is a testimony to the brand’s craftsmanship.

More than 200 years have passed since the tourbillon was invented and today it is still considered to be the pinnacle of watchmaking. OMEGA has taken this sublime expression of the art of watchmaking to the 21st century with a new Central Tourbillon wristwatch that features a Co-Axial calibre and a brilliant design highlighted with baguette diamonds of the finest quality.

The intriguing dial of the timepiece adds a modern twist to the beauty of the tourbillon, which is visible through the sapphire glass with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The titanium tourbillon cage, showcased in the centre of the watch, makes one revolution every minute. The 18K red gold alpha-shaped seconds hand is set in the tourbillon cage while the 18K red gold “flying” alpha-shaped hour and minute hands are etched onto the sapphire crystal. Facetted 18K red gold indexes are applied at 12, 3 and 6 o’clock.

The De Ville Central Tourbillon’s bridges and plates are finished in a striking chocolate brown colour, something that is achieved using a treatment of PVD – physical vapour deposition. Sun brushing the metal creates additional texture and adds depth to the bridges. There is a 950 platinum oscillating weight and the bridges are polished by hand. The movement is housed in a 38.7 mm 18K red gold case with matching red gold hands, screws and wheels.

One of the timepiece’s most brilliant design elements is its bezel, which is adorned with 24 baguette diamonds cut into trapezoidal forms.

This De Ville Central Tourbillon will be produced in an edition limited to eight pieces with the limited edition number engraved on the side of the casebody. Distinguishing each individual piece are the watchmaker’s initials engraved on the back of the tourbillon’s main plate. This stunning wristwatch is presented on a luxurious brown leather strap with a polished foldover clasp.

At its heart is the Co-Axial calibre 2635, a self-winding movement with a 45-hour power reserve. A free-sprung balance also allows for more precise adjustments of the watch, which has been officially certified as a chronometer by the COSC or Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres.

Like all Central Tourbillon models, the classic De Ville Co-Axial case guarantees water resistance up to 30 metres and it is offered with a three-year warranty. This OMEGA Central Tourbillon watch comes in its own presentation box in the form of a leather watch winder.
