History The De Ville collection originated in 1960 as a subset of the Seamaster line before becoming its own independent family in 1967. Omega created the standalone De Ville collection to focus entirely on urban elegance, streamlined design, and sophisticated aesthetics, separating it from the sporty, water-resistant focus of the Seamaster. Throughout the 1970s, the De Ville line won numerous design awards, perfectly capturing the era's shift toward ultra-slim, minimalist luxury. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0084
