History The Omega De Ville collection was established as a standalone line in 1967 to offer elegant dress watches distinct from Omega's sportier models. By separating De Ville from the Seamaster family, Omega created a dedicated space for refined, minimalist designs tailored for formal wear. This 1979 example perfectly illustrates that vision, utilizing the dependable Caliber 625 to maintain a slender profile while delivering the sophisticated aesthetic that defined the collection during this era.
