To commemorate its status as the title sponsor of a very prestigious global golf team event, which is also considered to be one of the oldest, one of the most popular Swiss watch brands, Omega, introduced its new Double Eagle Co-Axial Chronograph, the name of which is “Omega Mission Hills World Cup”.
It is worth mentioning that Omega has proved its commitment to the world of gold by being the sponsor of World Cup of golf for not less than twelve years. The celebration took place at the Mission Hills Golf Club, located in China.
The new watch model from Omega is easy to identify by its sporty design. The timepiece is being powered by and exclusive Calibre 3313, having a co-axial escapement. The Swiss watchmaker’s Double Eagle Co-Axial Chronograph includes a self-winding mechanism that provides supreme performance for those sportsmen who do understand and appreciate the value of extreme precision mixed with power.
Concrete aesthetics of the 41 mm Double Eagle are achieved thanks to a contrasting finishes of the surface, as well as an impressive carbon pattered dial along with features of a black rubber. These characteristics allow the timepiece to be a perfect example of a watch for outdoor sports.
The new creation from Omega is available in two versions, one being the 18-carat brushed gold and the second one titanium, having a brushed finish. Its case represents a mix of classic Constellation and modern design features, which include a black rubber. Continuing the tradition of the Omega family, the Double Eagle chronograph has asymmetric claws of the Constellation Line, which for the first time were introduced back in 1982.
The first version of the watch, made in 18-carat red gold, has its bezel lacquer-coated, and its crown along with the pushers brushed in wonderful red gold. The Roman numerals of the timepiece are also made in red gold. They are surrounded by the lustrous lacquer of the bezel, which outlines Double Eagle’s daring design. The crown of the watch, made of red gold, displays the logo of the Swiss brand, Omega.
The second model of the watch, made in titanium, provides a sporty appeal. In great contrast to the case, which has a sleek brushed finish, Omega’s designers coated bezel, crown, as well as the pushers with rubber. Double Eagle’s bezel has Roman rubber coated crown, displaying the Omega logo. All in all the watch represents both, a technical achievement and a world premier.
An important fact is worth mentioning, that is in both models of Omega’s Double Eagle, the originality of the dial, having a black carbon patterned texture, was achieved with the help of Physical Vapour Deposition treatment. This provides bold scenery for both, the 12-hour and 30-minute markers. The whole backdrop forms an eye-catching figure of 8. The small seconds subdial is located at 9 o’clock and the timepiece’s date window is found between 4 and 5 o’clock.
