The Watch
In the world of fashion and elegance, De Ville encapsulates refinement of style and meticulous finish in designs from abstemious classicism. The De Ville line was born in 1960. It descended from the Seamaster, whose monocoque - or one-piece - case could only opened via the bezel. This, together with its bevelled case middle, provided a freedom to design models that combined the slender refine of a dress watch.
In fact, the name of Seamaster De Ville was a combination of the powerful Seamaster character with the sophisticated persona of De Ville to represent the fashionable, refined watches of the different lines of Omega’s collections, the precision of the Constellations, the sportiveness of the Seamaster, and the elegance of the Geneva line.

The Condition
The original white sunburst dial is in good condition, with light patina. It pops amazingly, especially with the gold accents. This is a very rare dial execution, with the lume dots cutting though the indices, rather than sit at the end of them. Pretty special, and very stunning to look at. The gold on steel case is in excellent condition as well, with light signs of use. Both the crown and crystal are original and Omega signed.
Service history unknown, but it works perfectly and keeps great time. Quick-set date works perfectly as well. It measures 34,5mm diameter without crown, and 40,6mm from lug to lug. It comes on a new leather strap.
