George Daniels is the undisputed horological lighthouse of 20th century. Not only is he recognized as a technical master, but he was also undoubtedly the first of what is today a prominent category in the market: independent watchmakers. Daniels’ legacy is beyond remarkable, and arguably his masterpiece - from a technical standpoint - is the co-axial escapement. A truly innovative device, it was invented by Daniels in 1974 and patented in 1980. It dramatically reduces friction for improved performance and durability.
Daniels sold the patent to Omega in 1993 and was personally involved in the 6 year design and perfecting process which yielded in 1999 the first watch featuring the new escapement, limited to 999 pieces
The Omega De Ville Co-Axial limited edition belongs to the rose gold and midnight blue dial variant from circa 1999. Offered with box, papers and accessories.
