History The Omega De Ville line emerged as a standalone collection in the late 1960s, having originally been part of the Seamaster family. Designed to offer a more refined and elegant alternative to Omega's robust sports models, the De Ville quickly became celebrated for its elegant aesthetic and slim profile. During the 1970s, Omega utilized innovative case designs, including monocoque constructions, to protect their movements while maintaining sleek, dress-oriented proportions. This era of the De Ville remains highly appreciated by collectors for its pure, uncluttered approach to traditional watchmaking. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DVX-0031
