Presented for auction by Second Vintage The Omega De Ville collection has long represented the brand's dedication to refined, elegant dress watches, distinct from their utilitarian Seamaster and Speedmaster lines.

It is a sophisticated vintage piece that captures the essence of late 1970s luxury.

The dial presents in remarkably clean condition, showing excellent preservation with no significant spots, moisture marks, or damage visible. A pair of matching black stick hands completes the sleek, time-only layout, remaining sharp and free of degradation. Case and Crystal The 33mm gold-plated case features a classic round profile with straight, angular lugs. The case exhibits honest signs of vintage wear, with visible rubbing and wear to the gold plating, particularly along the lug edges and the underside of the case rim. The fluted crown is set with a striking black cabochon, adding a touch of elegance to the profile. The flat crystal remains clear, providing an unobstructed view of the pristine dial beneath. The stainless steel snap-on caseback is correctly stamped on the interior with the Omega logo, reference 111 0107, and the 20-micron plating specifications. Movement Powering this timepiece is the Omega Caliber 625, a reliable 17-jewel manual winding movement. The copper-toned movement is clearly stamped with the caliber number and the serial number 43261341. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady. The timegrapher results indicate a performance of +20 to +26 seconds per day. Strap The watch is fitted with a period-correct black textured leather strap featuring an ostrich-style grain, complementing the gold tones of the case and the black accents on the dial perfectly. Condition This Omega De Ville is in good vintage condition. The dial and hands are exceptionally well-preserved, standing out as the highlight of the watch. The gold-plated case shows clear signs of use, with noticeable wear and oxidation to the plating on the underside and edges, consistent with its age and regular wear. The stainless steel caseback bears visible watchmaker service marks on the interior. Dimensions The case measures 33 mm in diameter, excluding the crown, offering a classic and understated vintage dress watch proportion. Remarks With its minimalist two-hand design and beautifully textured dial, this De Ville is a versatile vintage dress watch. The combination of the champagne dial and black accents provides a timeless aesthetic suitable for formal or smart-casual occasions, maintaining its sophisticated appeal decades after its production. History Introduced as an independent line in 1967, the Omega De Ville collection was created to offer a more elegant and refined alternative to the brand's robust sports models. Focusing on slim cases, sophisticated dials, and classic proportions, the De Ville quickly became a favorite for those seeking a dedicated dress watch. This late 1970s example perfectly illustrates the collection's enduring commitment to understated luxury and timeless design.
