Two turbines are visible on the back of the UR-202 "White Shark" and these are coupled to the rotor to regulate the winding system of the watch.The turbines are controlled by a three position selector lever.In mode"FREE", the two turbines spin freely enabling maximum winding of the mainspring.In mode "Sport", the two replica Omega 3212.80 Men's Watch turbines spin with resistance, acting like pneumatic brakes that reduce the winding efficacy wound by 1/3rd.In mode "STOP", the turbines are locked and block the rotor from winding at all, although the watch can still be manually wound if necessary.Available at:Chronopassion (Paris-France).The European haunt for enthusiasts of haute horlogerie, where they talk micro-mechanics with love and passion.The owner of Chronopassion is Mr.Laurent Picciotto, one of the world's finest connoisseurs of the haute horlogerie.

Throughout this radiantly sunny day, Quincy Jones admired the work of these skilled watch artisans, commenting that ìthese men and women really impress me by their precision and the expertise they display in shaping these timeless gems.They are great creative talents and passionately dedicated artists, just like those for whom I serve as producer.For several years, Audemars Piguet and this exceptional individual replica Omega 3552.59 Men's Watch have been associated in developing ìProject Q?, aimed at raising political and public awareness of young peopleís need for self-expression and the means that must be provided to ensure they fulfil their true potential.The cornerstone of ìProject Q? is the ìQ Prize?, an international award presented by Audemars Piguet and honouring a public figure or social organisation having played a central role on behalf of children.Through his Quincy Jones Foundation, the artist is also committed to helping children by improving their well-being, their health and their dignity.The new Millenary Quincy Jones watch will contribute to raising funds for this foundation.
