History The Omega De Ville line was originally introduced in the 1960s as part of the Seamaster family before becoming its own standalone collection in 1967. Reference 111.0107 was introduced to Omega's international collection in 1972, characterized by a press-in caseback and an elegant profile. The watch is powered by the Omega Caliber 625, which was one of the brand's last extra-thin manual-winding movements produced before the widespread transition to quartz.
