History The De Ville line began its life as a subset of the Seamaster collection before Omega established it as a standalone family in the late 1960s. Designed to represent the brand's more elegant and refined side, the De Ville quickly became a canvas for sophisticated styling and varied case geometries. During the 1970s, Omega experimented with bolder, more angular case shapes and integrated bracelet designs, moving away from traditional round dress watches to reflect the forward-looking aesthetic of the decade. This era of De Ville production remains highly appreciated by collectors for its distinctive character and enduring mechanical quality. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OAD-0017
