Free from the bulky requirements of sports models, the De Ville line allowed Omega to experiment with classic geometries, slim profiles, and sophisticated dial textures. The Caliber 625 is a respected and widely utilized manual-winding movement from this era, known for its compact dimensions and reliable performance. This 1978 example perfectly embodies the understated charm of late-1970s dress watch design. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DVX-0004
