Abraham Louis Breguet, the genius watchmaker, invented Tourbillon in 1801. He assembled all of the escapement’s components like escape wheel, pallets wheel, pallets fork and balance wheel of Tourbillon in a small rotating cage with one rotation per minute to offset the effect of gravity at different positions, guaranteeing optimal precision ever possible in a mechanical watch.

Each Omega Specialities Tourbillon with Central Tourbillon in it is hand assembled and hand decorated. A single piece takes over 500 hours of intricate handcrafting of the virtuoso watchmaker, who sees through the process from beginning to the end. It also boasts of self-winding movement with Co-Axial Escapement of 2635 Caliber. This brown PVD coated movement has spiral pattern, hand polished bridges and mechanisms and a platinum oscillating weight.
