The De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Power Reserve

From Omega -

Probably not the fist place most hard-core watch guys are going to look, but the De Ville collection has some interesting pieces that probably don't get the attention that they might in an admittedly Seamaster/Speedmaster-centric universe.  

While I appreciate dive watches and astronaut approved time machine as much as the next guy, there is still something to be said for restraint.  Size and weight do not necessarily correlate with innovation or precision.
