The Omega tourbillon at Phillips’ auction, however, is the original, the actual prototype wristwatch from 1947. Previously unknown, the watch has been confirmed by the Omega Museum, which possesses period photographs as well as technical drawings of the wristwatch. More Omega replica watches.
The steel case is 37.5mm in diameter, while the dial is two-tone and handsome, but from the outside, the watch is indistinguishable from an ordinary Omega of the same period.
The tourbillon is constructed according to the then prevailing wisdom for chronometers, meaning a bimetallic Guillaume balance with poising screws on the rim and a hairspring with Breguet overcoil.
