History The De Ville collection began its life in the 1960s as part of the Seamaster line before becoming a standalone family in 1967. Omega created the De Ville line to house its more refined, elegant dress watches, separating them from the rugged sports models. During the 1970s, the collection embraced the creative design language of the era, experimenting with bold geometries, integrated bracelets, and faceted crystals. The manual wind caliber 625 utilized here is a respected and reliable movement from this period, perfectly suited for the slim and elegant profiles that defined the De Ville aesthetic. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-DVX-0035
