History The De Ville collection was launched as a separate line by Omega in 1967, having previously been part of the Seamaster family. It was designed to embody urban elegance and sophistication, distinct from the brand's sportier tool watches. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the De Ville became Omega's canvas for dress watches, winning numerous design awards (such as the Grand Prix Triomphe de l’Excellence Européenne) and representing the refined side of Swiss watchmaking. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODX-0010
