Lucky Number Eight: Poljot International’s OSEM Tourbillon
Hold onto your horological hats because Poljot International has just released their latest masterpiece: the "OSEM" tourbillon. A name that harks back to Tsarist Russia, "OSEM" translates to "eight," and believe us, this number isn't just a digit—it's the heart, soul, and aesthetic powerhouse of this timepiece.
A Symbol of Craft and Fortune
So, what's the big deal about eight? For starters, it's visually stunning. The number eight takes center stage, brought to life by two exquisitely crafted guilloché rings that create an elegant and striking visual symmetry. But this isn't just about looks. In many cultures, including Chinese, the number eight is a symbol of prosperity and good fortune. It's more than a watch; it's a talisman of good luck, wrapped around your wrist.
A Nod to Timeless Elegance
The OSEM isn’t just riding on the coattails of cultural significance; it's steeped in the classical design ethos of Poljot International. The skeletonised dial offers a window into the soul of the watch, showcasing a manual winding movement that’s been meticulously engraved. Every gear, every jewel, every component is a testament to the art of watchmaking.
The blued hands, adorned with luminous paint, are not just functional but a bold statement against the champagne-coloured skeletonised dial. And let’s not forget the case: a robust 43 mm of stainless steel, crowned with sapphire crystal, and water-resistant up to 5 ATM. This watch is built to withstand the trials of time—both aesthetically and physically.
Feature-Packed Brilliance
Underneath its beautiful exterior, the OSEM is a technical marvel. The hand-wound caliber 3360, with 19 jewels and a precision beat of 28,000 A/h, promises a 40-hour power reserve. A day-night indicator at the 3 o'clock position and a 24-hour display that doubles as a second time zone make this timepiece as functional as it is stylish.
Exclusivity Redefined
With only 100 pieces available, the OSEM is the epitome of exclusivity. Each watch is a unique piece of art, a collector's dream, and a conversation starter. Priced at MYR 16,470, it’s available exclusively at Red Army Watches, both at Pavilion KL & 1Utama Shopping Centre and online at www.redarmywatches.com.my.
