Remarks This De Ville offers a striking visual presence thanks to its highly textured woven dial. The classic cushion case and distinct pusher-set quartz caliber make it a fascinating and wearable example of Omega design from the period. History The Omega De Ville collection originally began as part of the Seamaster line before becoming a standalone family in 1967, dedicated to elegance and refined urban design. By the late 1970s and into the 1980s, Omega fully embraced the quartz revolution, producing slim, reliable calibers that allowed for creative case shapes. The caliber 1350 is notable for its recessed pusher-setting mechanism, reflecting a period of rapid technical innovation when Swiss manufacturers were redefining the traditional wristwatch for the modern electronic age. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0045
