History The De Ville became a standalone collection in 1967 after previously being part of the Seamaster line, establishing Omega's dedicated dress watch family. This 1969 example is powered by the Omega Caliber 620, a 17-jewel manual wind movement that beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour. It remains a classic vintage Omega dress watch that perfectly represents the standard production De Ville models from the late 1960s.
