History The Omega De Ville line began as a collection within the Seamaster family before becoming its own independent series in the late 1960s. Designed to offer a more formal and elegant alternative to Omega's robust sports models, the De Ville quickly became celebrated for its refined appearance and versatile styling. During the 1970s, Omega experimented with various case shapes and dial textures, producing timepieces that perfectly balanced contemporary design trends with traditional watchmaking principles. This era of the De Ville remains highly regarded by collectors for its enduring appeal and classic proportions. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODX-0011
