Marriage watches, assembled on the basis of the Omega watch movement, are a lot that did not go unnoticed by users of the Violiti website. After all, who would not want to become the owner of a product of a Swiss watch brand with a long history. Mariage is what makes this seemingly impossible dream come true.

The presented item is skeleton watches based on the Omega movement. For the decoration of the dial, a marine theme was chosen - a ship sails along the waves flooded with sunlight. Anchors and steering wheels are used as numbers.

As a rule, in skeletons, either the entire clock mechanism or part of it is left visible. The "interior" is viewed through a special window on the dial or back. Sometimes the entire visible area can be assigned to it.

Real skeletonization is understood as the “removal” of excess metal from the parts of the watch mechanism. There remains only a lightweight "skeleton" that is necessary for their work.

Some of the first skeletons began to appear alongside mechanical watches. Moreover, this was due not only to the desire of the watchmaker to show his skills. But, rather, the difficulties associated with the need to hide the mechanism in the case.

If we talk about skeleton watches as jewelry, then their appearance falls on the XVI-XVII centuries.

Returning to the watch brand Omega, let us recall that this is one of the oldest brands with more than 165 years of history.

Mariages with “stuffing” from well-known manufacturers are a piece of watch history that can be worn on your wrist.
