History Originally introduced as part of the Seamaster line, the De Ville became a standalone collection in 1967. Omega created the De Ville to offer a more streamlined, elegant alternative to their robust sports models, focusing on refined urban design. By the 1970s, the collection had fully established its own identity, characterized by slim profiles, minimalist dials, and thoughtful case geometries. These pieces remain highly appreciated by collectors for their pure dress watch aesthetic and reliable mechanical foundations. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DVX-0032
