History The Omega De Ville line originally emerged as part of the Seamaster collection before becoming its own independent family in 1967. Designed to offer a more refined, dress-oriented aesthetic compared to the brand's robust sports models, the De Ville quickly became known for its elegance and variety of case designs. During the 1970s, Omega frequently utilized monocoque cases, often denoted by the "TOOL 104" engraving, to provide a sleek profile while protecting the movement inside. These models represent a classic era of Swiss watchmaking, celebrated for their clean styling and reliable mechanics. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0113
