The term of the new tourbillon “OSEM” has its roots in Tsarist Russia and simply means “eight.” The representation of the number eight is made possible in this timepiece by two specially-crafted guilloché rings, giving it a unique aesthetic dimension.
However, the significance of the number eight extends beyond linguistic and visual aspects. In many cultures, including the Chinese, the number eight is considered auspicious, signifying good fortune. This positive connotation adds another facet that goes beyond mere functional timekeeping.
The watch embodies traditional classic design in line with the style of Poljot International. Every aspect is meticulously designed, emphasising the craftsmanship and attention to detail expressed in the production of this timepiece. From the profound meaning of the number eight to the classical elegance in the skeletonised dial design, this watch represents a successful fusion of tradition and aesthetics.
The blued hands with luminous paint distinctly stand out from the dial, providing excellent readability. The 43mm stainless steel case features a sapphire crystal on the front and is water-resistant up to 5 ATM.
The skeletonised and engraved manual winding movement includes a day-night indicator at the 3 o’clock position and a 24-hour display that can be set as a second time zone. With a power reserve of 40 hours and a limited edition of 100 pieces, the tourbillon presents itself as an almost magical masterpiece.
The Poljot International “OSEM” is available exclusively at Red Army Watches for RM16,470, at Pavilion KL & 1Utama Shopping Centre, and online at ww.redarmywatches.com.my.
