It combines mid-century jewelry design with reliable mechanical watchmaking in a petite, elegant format. History The Omega De Ville line emerged as a symbol of elegance and refined design, originally introduced as part of the Seamaster collection before becoming a standalone family in 1967. Focused on elegant styling rather than sports utility, the De Ville became a canvas for creative case shapes and textured finishes. This particular reference is powered by the manual-winding mechanical caliber 485, representing Omega's dedication to producing high-quality, miniaturized mechanical movements for ladies' timepieces during the era.
