History Introduced as a standalone collection in 1967, the Omega De Ville line was created to offer elegant, refined designs distinct from the sportier Seamaster family. During the 1970s, Omega experimented with various case shapes, including the cushion profile seen here, perfectly reflecting the design language of the era. The manual-wind Caliber 625 was a reliable workhorse for Omega during this period, appreciated for its slim profile which allowed for sleek case proportions. This 1975 example illustrates the enduring appeal of vintage Omega dress watches. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DVX-0014
