History The Omega De Ville collection originated in the early 1960s as a sophisticated branch of the Seamaster line, eventually becoming an independent family in 1967. Designed to offer a more refined and elegant alternative to Omega's robust sports models, the De Ville quickly became associated with classic dress watch proportions. During the 1980s and 1990s, Omega utilized accurate quartz movements to achieve slimmer case profiles, catering to a market that valued precision alongside traditional styling. The caliber 1432 found in this example represents that era of reliable, straightforward Swiss quartz technology. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DXX-0009
