Once upon a time - the Omega Tresor De Ville Orbis Edition 🐻
Some years ago found this one in an Omega Boutique. The Orbis Edition donated a part of the proceeds to the Orbis foundation, which, if I recall correctly, supported children with seeing disabilities and operated an MDD DC-10 converted into a mobile eye clinic.
The adaptations to the watch were subtle, with the blue dial, electric blue seconds hand and the blue teddy instead of the 8th of the month on the date wheel. While I quite like the Tresor De Ville, the Date bothered me, so it didn’t come with, as much as I appreciated the noble cause.
Maybe a small seconds TDV without a date some day? 🧐🤷🏻♂️
Wishing you a great remaining weekend 👋🏻

The dial I quite liked…
And while the date wheel detail is cute, I would have preferred the watch without a date full stop 😊🤷🏻♂️
I didn’t know this edition of the TDV
and I understand how you felt about the date. If you want a no date, they have a beautiful gold version with grey dial. Cheers, Emmanuel ...
Thanks a lot 😊👍🏻
In the meantime there are more no date versions thankfully - Omega at least has figured out that not all watches need a date 😁 A WG version I would have liked even more - the standard difference between the two of us 😉
There was an even earlier DeVille model dedicated to ORBIS . . .

I owned this watch once — the Deville ORBIS Hour Vision.
Even though I loved the dial, the watch always felt too big on my wrist.
Seems to be a standard dial color for the editions 👍🏻
Thanks so much for pointing this one out - wasn’t aware of it 🙏🏻
Is that a teddy bear on the date??
Cool detail. Like you, I would prefer no date. But that beautiful sun burst dial makes up for it! Nice! I
Teddy bears are the mascot . . .

The short lugs are a feature for sure 👍🏻
Making it very wearable - and fully agree on the dial 🙌🏻
The standard edition . . .
