Omega tends to do interesting, unexpected, things with precious metals and stones, and I think thatвЂ™s true with this watch as well.

ItвЂ™s fun to see Omega flexing a bit here, and reminds me a little of last yearвЂ™s first Speedmaster with a 321 movement вЂ“ youвЂ™ll remember that one was in platinum, with white gold markers and meteorite subdials. Diamonds have been popping up in menвЂ™s watches for years, of course, but usually in a slightly more subtle way (think diamond markers on a Datejust, for example). The fact that this Tresor is a 40mm watch (and presumably targeted to men) is a somewhat interesting and most certainly welcome development. Diamonds, of course, are not for every taste, but a well executed diamond setting is quite a thing to behold from a pure aesthetic and craft point of view. We donвЂ™t often cover diamond and gem set watches on Worn & Wound, but this release gives us a good excuse to discuss the appeal of such a watch, as itвЂ™s paired with another piece thatвЂ™s a little less blingy. One is a clean, polished stainless steel bezel, and the other has been set with diamonds. These new Tresors both feature the same gradient blue dial but have different bezel options.

The Tresor (and certainly these watches in particular) have a very obvious refinement, and benefit from the same technical know-how that goes into the making of OmegaвЂ™s most tech forward Speedmasters and Seamasters. So many of OmegaвЂ™s core models are iconic sports watches, itвЂ™s not often that we think of them as makers of more traditional dress pieces, but the Tresor is a good reminder that theyвЂ™re one of the biggest brands in the world for good reason, and can do just about anything. The De Ville Tresor is among the most formal watches in OmegaвЂ™s enormous collection, and at 40mm these new Tresors strike a modern dress watch tone in their sizing and execution. The new watch (actually, a pair of watches) takes the De Ville Tresor as a starting point and adds some rather subtle design flourishes to make this something special. Omega has unveiled their latest watch made in support of Orbis, an international non-profit whose mission is to reduce preventable blindness in the poorest parts of the world.
