The dial furniture includes applied gold-tone faceted baton indices, each detailed with a subtle black inlay to enhance legibility, paired with a meticulously applied gold Omega logo at twelve o'clock. The typography is executed in a crisp, sans-serif black print for the Omega and De Ville scripts, as well as the Swiss Made designation at the bottom.

It remains exceptionally clean, showing no signs of moisture damage, spotting, stains, or print loss, representing a highly appealing and well-preserved surface. Case and Crystal The compact 19mm cushion-shaped case is crafted from stainless steel and finished with a heavy 20-micron gold plating, as confirmed by the factory hallmarks stamped inside the caseback. The case profile features soft, sweeping lines with a fully polished bezel and mid-case that reflect light beautifully. Notably, the watch utilizes a recessed push-button crown at three o'clock, a distinct technical feature of the Caliber 1387 used for setting the time, which allows the case flanks to remain sleek and uninterrupted. The flat crystal sits flush with the bezel and remains clear, offering an unobstructed view of the pristine dial. The stainless steel snap-on caseback displays a crisp vertical brushed finish and shows only light, honest handling marks consistent with careful wear. Movement Inside beats the Omega Caliber 1387, a high-quality Swiss quartz movement from Omega's dedicated electronic era. Close inspection of the movement reveals a clean mainplate stamped with the Omega logo, "SWISS", "1387", and "THREE 3 JEWELS UNADJUSTED". The serial number 45921571 is clearly engraved, dating the production to the early 1980s. The movement is powered by a fresh Maxell battery and utilizes a unique electronic setting mechanism operated via the pusher on the side of the case. Strap The watch is fitted with a period correct black textured leather strap that complements the gold-tone case perfectly. It is secured by a gold-tone pin buckle featuring a prominently applied Omega logo, completing the authentic vintage presentation.

History The Omega De Ville line began its life as part of the Seamaster family in the 1960s, designed to offer a dressier, more refined alternative to the brand's robust sports models. By 1967, the De Ville became its own independent collection, quickly growing into Omega's most diverse and elegant range. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the De Ville collection was the testing ground for Omega's advancements in quartz technology and ultra-thin case designs, winning numerous awards for its sophisticated aesthetics. Today, vintage De Ville models are celebrated for their classic proportions and enduring elegance. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0059
