The high end replica Omega watch version of the Futura is actually called the Tourbillon 1. This is the version that looks most like this specific Futura.There are two main differences between this Futura and the Tourbillon 1. First is the use of crystal glass as opposed to acrylic for the enclosure.Crystal is going to be heavier, but gives you a ier and higher quality look.The second difference is the "tourbillon" aspect of the name.

Basically, the winder mimics the effect of a replica brand watches tourbillon escapement in such watches that have one.What it does it stop the winding cylinder in different positions each time.This allows potential differences in the rate of the watch in different positions to be averaged out and thus theoretically helps increase the rate results of a watch.The Tourbillon 1 winding cylinder has 13 different positions for the cylinder I believe.

This future does not have this "tourbillon feature" with the watch starting and stopping its cycles in the same position.Now with that in mind, lets talk about this impressive little number.The Futura 1 retails for $695 and the replica Tag Heuer watch Tourbillon 1 retails at $995. Prices from dealers are probably a little bit less.The first thing you should know is that this watch winder is referred to as "programmable." Unlike some other watch winders it has more than an "on" and "off" switch.Rather, you have an interesting range of settings and options that are functional or aesthetic related.
