Remarks This Omega De Ville stands out through its remarkable silver linen dial, which remains in exceptional condition for its age. The ultra-thin stainless steel profile and reliable manual-wind caliber make it an outstanding choice for collectors seeking a refined and minimalist vintage dress watch. History The Omega De Ville collection emerged as an independent line in 1967, having previously been a subset of the Seamaster family. Created to offer a more refined, dress-oriented aesthetic compared to Omega's robust sports models, the De Ville quickly became known for its elegance and varied case designs. During the 1970s, the line embraced ultra-thin profiles and textured dials, appealing to those who valued sophisticated, understated watchmaking. The Caliber 620 was instrumental in this era, providing a compact and dependable manual-wind engine that allowed for the sleek proportions defining classic mid-century dress watches. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0116
