Thank you for being first with so many of the recently announced watches and bringing always top quality videos and interviews. The tresor collection has been great since 2014
My pleasure! The power reserve will follow soon... The version shown on the thumbnail IMHO is the most beautiful dress/elegant watch I have seen for a very long time...
Omega did it again. The red burgundy dial in Sedna case & the green dial in yellow gold are my favorites. Thanks for sharing this, Alexander. Great episode. Cheers...
One of my all time favorite dress watches. Clean, simplistic yet elegant design, fantastic movement and amazing finishing. Why won’t I buy it??? It wears incredibly large on your wrist...like a dinner plate. Why for the love of God would they not manufacture such a beautifully reserved watch in an appropriately reserved size??? At 36-38mm, this would be an instant classic; why don’t manufacturers understand that there are countless conservative watch collectors in the world who don’t want people staring at behemoths on our wrists????
Tastes are different! I would not buy/wear the watch in a 36-38 mm. Habits have changed and 40-42 mm have become normal sizes. It is not only us buying these, also Asians start loving bigger watches. A 36-38 mm once was the size to have, today though would be a nice niche product, but not more…
Then off to JLC for you for a 39mm MUT Moon. I agree that these thin bezel watches are ‘all dial’ but in a good way. Same could be said of 41mm Datejusts. It’s just fashion dictating. But 36mm as the norm will never ever return. 40 is the new 36 and the sweet spot for the majority of consumers.
Imagine this watch without co-axial and master chronometer written on it. In my book less is more. I understand that sometimes some information is balancing the dial but in this perticular case its pointless because small seconds counter does that. Do I need to be reminded daily about type of movement and certification my dress watch? Ofc not.
This watch to me is true Omega DNA. It’s a watch that they should further nurture and develop. It’s an essential piece in their catalog made for eternity. It makes me wonder though, imagine in this watch the Omega equivalent of the slim Rolex 3230.... Now that would be a powerhouse!
The Omega calibre is the better movement ... the entire watch is Master Chronometer tested ... no other watches then those of Omega would pass the METAS testing procedure...

@@WatchAdvisor Just think about the following. You go to town in the morning with a Speedmaster, to the beach in the afternoon with your Seamaster and then to a dinner with the Trésor. Now think what that would cost you with other brands at lesser quality. I start to love Omega more and more.
@@WatchAdvisor Dear Alexander, I have no doubt the Omega movement is a worthy movement, don’t get me wrong, What I mean is some of us are dreaming about slimmer movements in the foreseeable future...
Better quality than a JLC master control date in my opinion. Really the perfect dress watch (if a bit big but the short lug to lug means it wears compact and with a sunburst that good do you really want a smaller dial).
Very smart watches just wish that burgundy dial was available on steel. Good that the strap width is 20mm so these pieces will be strap monsters. Overall package at the price can’t be beat. Reminds me of a Zenith design a little. Wind. Set the time. Away you go. Simple and elegant. The PR is impressive too. Once again our friends at Omega knocking it out of the park. That grey dial is very handsome. Timeless. I’d get it on a black alligator strap though for contrast.
My favorite is the green and gold one. Beautiful combination. I think the stainless steel models are priced appropriately but the precious metal versions are overpriced.
In comparison to other brands you really get a massive piece of gold… many brands empty the structure of their gold cases as much as possible… this makes it possible to sell these watches for a lower price..
@@WatchAdvisor you are right in that regard. Thank you for that perspective! I’ve been going to several Omega boutiques to inquire about these. Can’t wait for them to come out.
I completely missed this release two years ago!!! I haven't even seen them when I went to the Omega boutique. I should drop by again to check them in the metal. I'm surprised Omega haven't pushed these more since they're probably some of the best watches they have. Great alternative to JLC / Grand Seiko / Chopard etc in a market segment Omega don't stand out in
Many thanks to Alexander and Gregory for this video. The Tresor series I must confess has not been on my watch radar until today. I will keep this short as I do tend to ramble on. The no date is a plus with all of these watches, the sun ray dials are beautiful in all colours as well. Out of the reviewed watches I am drawn heavily to the sedna gold with the red wine dial, I'm not a fan of gold watches but this one I adore but I am unlikely to be able to justify the cost. It would be difficult to choose between the blue or grey dials in this video but I think the blue may just take the lead right now. If the red wine dial was available in steel that would be my choice to add to my watch 'watch ' list.
Tresors go under peoples' radar, but these are very well executed. Fantastic hand-wound movement and no date - bravo! Dial and indices are very fine. Personally, not a huge fan of peacock dials! And what goes with a burgundy watch? So, the grey dial is the stunner for me. But, but, but... I think there are some misses. As with 40mm JLC Master Controls, these are big - 38/39mm would be my choice. A smaller size would allow longer, more elegant lugs. And perhaps a more imaginative crown? You'll be using it, so it is a key element to the design.
Alexander very nice Video and great to see this by Omega I still have my Omega Prestige Deville coaxial escapement love it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 This is another Level by Omega Take Care Alan H
I didn’t have the impression that the De Ville wore big… in the video you see my wrist and it measures 17 cm… maybe this helps… let us know when you get yours and please share some thoughts with us…
Kudos Alexander for showing the watches off so well. I think the small seconds is an improvement on the existing model with the date window at 6. I’ve had the blue linen dial version for a couple of years now and for me it’s a keeper. The only downside is under certain light conditions and angles the legibility is not fantastic but for me it’s a future classic, albeit under the radar.
My pleasure! I fell in love with the grey dial … That’s always a good sign … in the past watches I felt in love with later became icons … I can literally feel it … 🤷🏻♂️ May your Omega always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Hi....great presentation..was waiting for this...hope you showcase the power reserve version too....currently have a speedmaster CK2998...would love to add a tresor power reserve as a dress watch...what's your thought?
Master Chronometer certified by METAS… I dare to write that no other watches then Omega would pass the tests and get certified… Does this mean thy are the best in the world? Who knows… But Omega gave an answer to what is the ENEMY of the mechanical wristwatch… MAGNETISM…
Almost purchased the rose gold Tresor with "clous de Paris" dial a couple years back. Would have been my 2 watch collection along side my Speedmaster Professional except the 40mm felt too big after several visits to the AD. 38mm and I would have purchased it on my second visit. The new grey sunburst dial is beautiful though. Nice selection from Omega
You should try it on your wrist ... the case has a diameter of 40 mm though ... but you never know ... my wrist size is 17 cm ... if that may help you ...
That’s the same… a Master Chronometer is a certified watch by METAS … What is METAS? Click here: www.metas.ch/metas/en/home/dok/rechtliches/Zertifizierung_Uhren.html
Well, Alexander as much as I hate to say it, this is another 'Swing... and a Miss' from Omega. They needed to look no farther than their own stablemate Hamilton for a better blueprint. The Jazzmaster Maestro Small Second in steel features what seems to be an ETA 2895-2 modified by Hamilton to a 50 hr power reserve, (this jumps to 11mm and 80 hrs with the H-10 version) AUTOMATIC with a display caseback, a date complication, a much more stylish case and the same 40MM width. The difference is the thickness. The Omega is 10.07 and the Hamilton is only 9mm and it's an automatic small seconds with a date! This is the same issue we see from Omega over and over; watches that are too thick. 10mm isn't necessarily thick, but for what the watch is trying to be, it's too thick. Buying the Hamilton Jazzmaster Maestro Small Seconds with a date complication will save you US $6,540 Dollars (or 5,895 CHF) vs the Omega. Case closed.
Do you drive a very basic car? I bet you don't, why, because you like the better fit and finish of the more luxurious car. Same with watches, you are paying for the better movement that is finished to a far higher standard.
@@garyboyle695 In fact, Mr. Boyle...I own a Ford F-150 XLT, it's a truck. As a watch collector I've heard this argument before and it's still 30% right and 70% wrong. I certainly don't own 27 cars, as I do watches. Unless you live in your car you will be spending much more time with your watch. Cars don't go to the Men's room with you. Your car can't intimidate anyone in the Meeting Room. Nobody asks you if your car is 'real'. Nobody asks you..."Hey, you know how to spot a fake Toyota Camry?" The point isn't which one I'll buy, I already own the Hamilton. The point is that Omega, being part of Swatch like Hamilton is, already had a better blueprint, check those specs, again, and they refused to follow it; opting instead for a much thicker watch which is fully polished and lacks a date complication. I've purchased 2 Omegas in the past year and they are both from the 2000s and less than 14mm thick. Their modern counterparts are 16 and 18mm thick. Super thick watches are a trend with Omega. Would you buy a car with an extra bubble on top?
You are comparing apples and pears… you are comparing VW and Audi… what you do makes no sense - sorry! And on top Omega watches are Master Chronometer certified by METAS. No other Swiss watch (I mean the entire industry) would pass these tests and get officially certified… Omega under all aspects plays in another league…
@@WatchAdvisor Alexander, with all due respect you are wrong. You missed the part about the 'Blueprint'. Which is the 'apple' and which is the 'pear'? If the VW were 0-60 in 3.2 sec and the Audi was 0-60 in 5.3 sec for $10,000 Dollars more, I doubt you would say the Audi was superior, especially if the VW had a Sennheiser entertainment system and leather seats, vs the Audi with NO entertainment system and cloth seats. I happily own 3 Omegas and have no axe to grind, except Omega watches keep getting thicker and thicker. Yes, this looks like a nice watch, I haven't been able to try one on yet. I may purchase one, I don't know. Omega already had an existing blueprint for an Audi, but chose to make a nice looking Volkswagen...Which isn't such a bad thing.
I like the omega brand, but as a luxury watch collector for over 20 years I have narrow down my purchase so with omega I have only looked into speedmaster where I have a few. I love them. I have never looked into the other models but after seeing this review, i need to have a look at this particular model as it is stunning. My favourite is the blue dial. Thank you again Alexander for the in depth review. I am actually looking to add a formal style watch in my collection. I have been looking at a grand seiko skyflake, and a JLC master control sector. Now this has come into the equation.
Great video! The grey variant is my favourite also. Waiting for the power reserve video (especially to the white and grey variant, that is my absolute favourite!). Thank you!(:
Beautiful, love the size (thin, and not too small for my wrist). Perfect modern dress watches. Normally don’t like diamonds, but I could see myself wearing that silver.
I was wondering if you can tell me whether the omega symbol on the dial is applied or printed? It looks printed on most of the watches but on the dark grey it seems to be applied along with the word “Omega”.
Alex, I'm interested in your opinion. Personally, I think Omega and Breitling (possibly even IWC) really did a good job since 2018. When you think about it, lets take Omega for example. You can build a mono-brand collection with just Omega, e.g. Seamaster 300m, Aqua Terra (silver dial) and now this Tresor (especially the blue dial, or even maybe get a gold one if you have the means) and you basically build a perfect mono-brand collection that covers all aspects of collecting and the best part...no w8ing lists, no snobbery, just really good watches. With Breitling as well, SO 44 (yellow dial for summer/weekend fun), Navitimer B01 (maybe even that two tone 💣 version) and now the new addition to Premeier collection. These brands really listened to the frustration many Rolex fans had with w8ing lists, snobbery etc. and they gave their potential new clients what they wanted. I pass by a Breitling/Omega AD on my way to work every day, and damn these watches are nice. What your take on that?
I completely agree I'm an omega fan since my childhood, my first omega was a gift from my grandmother in 1976, quartz model still working now, I have some speedy like a moon watch from 1970. What I love is that they have is technically advanced and they are not afraid to take some risk (omega apollo 8...). My next one will be a planet ocean chrono.The watches Alexander presented now are really great the red deal is really beautiful. You buy an Omega to wear and enjoy, you buy a Rolex only to keep it and sell it later just for speculation.
@@marctavo5288 Yes. I mean I wouldn't mind owning a Rolex, but the ones I like are overpriced and reserved for people I don't want to associate with. If I were to get a Rolex I would go yg 1803 vintage and maybe wear it on a nice leather strap, for my own personal enjoyment. Thanks for the response :)
CRAZY! Once again this is artificial created parallel business by greedy ADs, their flippers and resellers. It is NOT the fault of Rolex! Everyone paying more than retail is CRAZY!
I was planning to buy tresor with date function but now i am in loved with that gold omega with green dial after watching your great presentation i am a huge fan of omega which is a true Swiss brand in watch business
@@WatchAdvisor i am really thinking to own green dial on gold version. Do you think this model can be considered as grail watch? Curious about your opinion
The very dial is a stunner! This De Ville Trésor is one of the beautifulest, elegant wristwatches I have seen for a very long time... Everything is perfect!
@@Ossory88 The minute-hand touches the minuterie, the hour-hand touches the hour indices… well balanced… couldn’t be better! Old school watchmaking at its best!
