Created to offer a more streamlined, elegant alternative to the robust tool watches Omega was famous for, the De Ville line quickly became synonymous with urban sophistication and refined dress watch design. This particular ladies' model exemplifies the collection's core philosophy, delivering timeless beauty and reliable Swiss watchmaking in a perfectly proportioned package. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DHX-0003
