Case and Crystal The 33 mm stainless steel case uses a front-loading monocoque design, indicated by the "TOOL 104" engraving on the caseback.

Polished surfaces show light surface marks consistent with careful use over time. The caseback engraving remains visible, with only mild softening. The watch retains its signed Omega crown. The domed acrylic crystal is clear overall, with only light wear that does not significantly affect visibility. Movement Powering the watch is an Omega manual wind mechanical movement with copper-toned plating. The caliber is marked "17 JEWELS" and "OMEGA WATCH Co SWISS." The movement appears clean, with no obvious signs of damage or corrosion. It is running well, with timegrapher results showing approximately +3 to +6 seconds per day and healthy amplitude, indicating reliable performance for its age. Strap The watch is fitted with a black leather strap in a period-appropriate style. It features a smooth finish with white contrast stitching at the lugs and tip. The strap remains in good, wearable condition and is paired with a stainless steel pin buckle. Condition This Omega De Ville is in very good vintage condition. It shows typical, light signs of age and wear but has been well maintained overall. The dial remains clean and attractive, and the case retains solid structure and definition. A well-preserved example suitable for both collection and regular wear. Dimensions Case Size: 33 mm (excluding the crown) Remarks The monocoque case design reflects Omega’s focus on both form and function, offering a slim profile with practical protection for the movement. The two-hand layout enhances its versatility, making it suitable for both formal and casual settings. History The De Ville name first appeared on Omega Seamaster dials in the early 1960s, offering a more refined alternative to sport-oriented models. By 1967, it became a standalone collection and grew into one of Omega’s most successful lines. Known for elegant styling and reliable mechanical movements, vintage De Ville watches remain appreciated for their classic proportions and enduring appeal. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODX-0053
