History The Omega Seamaster was first introduced to celebrate the brand's centennial, originally designed as a robust, water-resistant watch for active individuals. By the following decades, Omega sought to offer a more refined, dress-oriented version of the Seamaster, leading to the creation of the Seamaster De Ville. This sub-collection quickly gained popularity for its ability to combine the proven durability of the Seamaster line with the sleek, sophisticated styling expected of a premium dress watch. The De Ville eventually became so successful that it was established as its own independent line, making these transitional double-signed dials highly sought after by collectors today. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OSD-0016
