History The Omega De Ville collection was established as a standalone line in 1967, separating from the Seamaster family to focus entirely on refined, elegant dress watches. Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, the De Ville range became synonymous with sophisticated urban style, often utilizing precious metals and creative case geometries. This circa 1971 ladies model beautifully illustrates that design philosophy, housing the reliable caliber 485 manual wind movement within a delicate oval profile that remains incredibly stylish today. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODX-0043
