History The Omega De Ville collection emerged as a standalone line in 1967, representing the brand's dedication to refined, dress-oriented timepieces. During the late 1970s, Omega embraced the quartz revolution with high-quality, in-house calibers like the 1342. These movements often featured distinctive time-setting mechanisms, such as the pusher-style crown, differentiating them from standard mechanical counterparts. Watches from this era reflect a transitional period in watchmaking, combining traditional dress watch elegance with modern quartz technology. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0031
