History The Omega De Ville collection originated in the 1960s as a sophisticated branch of the Seamaster line before becoming an independent family of watches in 1967. Designed to represent urban elegance, the De Ville prioritized refined aesthetics and slim profiles over the rugged sporting intentions of its siblings. The use of front-loading monocoque cases, often bearing the Tool 104 instruction for crystal removal, allowed Omega to create seamless casebacks and beautifully uninterrupted lines. These models remain highly appreciated for their classic proportions and enduring mechanical quality. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1–3 days after purchase.
