History The Omega De Ville collection emerged as a standalone line in 1967, designed to offer refined, elegant aesthetics distinct from the sportier Seamaster and Speedmaster families. During the 1970s, the De Ville became the primary canvas for Omega's sophisticated dress watches, often utilizing ultra-slim manual wind movements like the caliber 625 to achieve sleek case profiles. The caliber 625 is well regarded by collectors for its durability and compact architecture, making it an ideal engine for classic minimalist timepieces from this era. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0107
