History The Omega De Ville collection emerged as a standalone line in 1967, designed to offer a more elegant and refined alternative to the robust Seamaster models. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, Omega fully embraced quartz technology, integrating slim and reliable calibers like the 1336 into their dress watch designs. These quartz models allowed for thinner case profiles and precise timekeeping, perfectly aligning with the elegant aesthetic of the De Ville family during this era. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0082
