Pre-BASELWORLD 2013 - OMEGA SEDNA

Feb 03, 2013,21:07 PM
 

Sedna™  gold  is the  name  OMEGA has  given  to a new alloy that  stunningly blends  three elements: gold, copper and palladium.  It is an 18K rose gold, meaning  that  it has  a minimum gold  content of 75%.  Sedna™’s unique  rose  colour is a result, in part,  of just the  right  proportion of copper: Its palladium  content helps to ensure that  the reddish hue of Sedna™ gold will be particularly long lasting. It takes  its name  from a trans-Neptunian object which astronomers called  Sedna  – the same name as an Inuit goddess who is said to live at the bottom of the  Arctic Ocean. The surface  of the  orbiting object  has been  described as one of the reddest in our Solar System.




Gold + Copper + Palladium

Swatch Group assembled a team of top metallurgists and  scientists  from several  of its companies with the shared  goal of creating an 18K rose gold alloy whose colour would be not only beautiful but enduring. Sedna™  gold  – developed 100%  in house by the Swatch Group team – is the patented, breath-taking confirmation of their success.



CONSTELLATION SEDNA

The OMEGA Constellation Sedna is the first watch to be  crafted in 18K Sedna™  gold.   This limited edition wristwatch seamlessly blends  the timeless aesthetic appeal of a legendary watch family with the world premiere of an innovative material.  18K Sedna™  gold,  a patented alloy blending  gold, copper and palladium,  has been  created to ensure that  the unique rose gold lustre of the watch case will be  especially  long-lasting. The indexes  and hands  are  also made of 18K Sedna™  gold,  as is the clasp on its strap.





The distinctive timepiece has a polished casebody with a brushed   bezel   emboldened by  tone-in- tone  Roman numerals. It has  a luxurious silvery “pie-pan”  dial  inspired  by that  of the  very first Constellation launched in 1952.  The timepiece is presented on a strap crafted from fine brown leather. The watch is equipped with OMEGA’s innovative  Si14 silicon balance spring  and  the industry-changing   OMEGA   Co-Axial calibre 8501, visible through a sapphire crystal caseback. The OMEGA Constellation Sedna  water resistant to 10 bar(100 metres/330 feet).

The OMEGA Constellation Sedna will be produced in an  edition  limited to 1,952  pieces,  signifying the year OMEGA debuted the renowned Constellation watch family. It is delivered in a special   wooden   presentation box  with a rose- coloured  lining. The watch has  a full four-year warranty.
