This ladies' model is powered by the caliber 681, a sophisticated and compact automatic movement measuring just 17.5 mm in diameter. Operating at 19,800 vibrations per hour, the caliber was designed with a full rotor and Omega's characteristic copper-plated mainplate, offering reliable timekeeping and practical features like a sweep seconds hand and date function in a beautifully proportioned package.
