History The Seamaster De Ville line historically bridged the gap between Omega's rugged sports watches and elegant dress pieces. By the late 1970s, as quartz technology reshaped the Swiss watch industry, Omega adapted its classic designs to house reliable, battery-powered calibers. The caliber 1342 is representative of this transitional era, offering the precision of quartz within the familiar, refined architecture of the Seamaster De Ville family. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OSD-0020
