History The Omega De Ville line emerged in the 1960s as a sophisticated, dress-oriented alternative to the brand's robust sports models. By the 1970s, the collection embraced elegant geometric designs and creative dial variations. The caliber 620 was a respected ultra-flat manual wind movement, allowing Omega to produce slim and refined dress watches that perfectly suited the era's formal aesthetics. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0075
