History The Omega De Ville originated in the 1960s as part of the highly successful Seamaster line. By 1967, Omega recognized the distinct appeal of these dressier models and established the De Ville as an independent collection. The line was specifically created to showcase refined, elegant designs separate from the brand's robust sports models. This classic vintage Omega De Ville is a standard production model from the late 1970s, perfectly representing the elegant styling that defined the collection during that era.
