History The Omega De Ville line emerged as a standalone collection in 1967, originally branching off from the Seamaster family to represent the brand's more elegant, dress-oriented offerings. Throughout the subsequent decade, the De Ville collection embraced the design language of the era, frequently utilizing cushion cases and refined mechanical calibers. The caliber 625 is a well regarded manual wind movement from Omega, known for its slim profile and dependable architecture, making it a fitting engine for the sophisticated yet everyday wearability of the De Ville series. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODX-0049
