Ritmo Mundo's new Pegasus Tourbillon marks the brand's first foray into tourbillon watches. Retailing for $12,900 USD, the timepiece is considered to be "one of the most attainable sapphire case tourbillon watches on the global watch market today."
The Pegasus Tourbillon boasts a 42 mm case made from full synthetic sapphire crystal, providing a transparent and durable housing for the watch's intricate mechanism. This upgrade from the previous glass material offers improved scratch resistance and a clearer view of the tourbillon movement. The watch features a gold-plated barrel and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a 72-hour power reserve. In terms of design, the Pegasus Tourbillon continues the beveled case design seen in earlier Pegasus models but with added enhancements. The watch includes a mineral-reinforced glass mirror dial with a choice of turquoise, blue, or black accents. The sapphire case is fastened with stainless-steel screws, and the timepiece is completed with a fluorine rubber strap and a stainless steel clasp.
