History The Omega De Ville line emerged as an independent collection in the late 1960s, quickly becoming recognized for its refined aesthetics and diverse case designs. During the 1970s, Omega frequently utilized front-loading monocoque cases to achieve a sleek profile while eliminating the traditional caseback seam. Often marked with Tool 104 to indicate the specific Omega tool required for crystal removal and movement access, these cases represent a practical and elegant period in the brand's production. This specific model demonstrates the clean, functional beauty that defined Omega dress watches of the era. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0072
