In the De Ville line, introduced in 1960, Omega combined the water-resistant case of the Seamaster collection with high-grade movements often used in other references.
However, the cases of the De Ville line — in any metal — were thinner and more elegant than their sportier contemporaries. In such a way, elegance was not substituted for functionality, and the De Ville could be worn with a suit and not lose any of its water resistance. As time progressed, so too did the spec sheet of the average De Vill become more impressive, leading to a collection of handsome yet robust timepieces perfect for everyday wear.
The particular De Ville we have here is a modern incarnation from the 2020s boasting a simple, elegant design that can truly be dressed up or down with ease. Housed in a 36.8mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel, it features a sunburst, off-white dial with applied Roman and ‘baton’ indices, a ‘dauphine’ handset, and a date window at 3 o’clock.
Powering the watch is the automatic Omega Co-Axial Calibre 2500 movement (ETA 2892-A2 base) with a 48-hour power reserve, while paired to it is a stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed, hidden push-button deployant clasp.
Whether your needs are for an everyday timepiece or a watch for special occasions, you can’t go wrong with this versatile De Ville and its chronometer-certified movement. Give it a whirl and see what we mean!
