Title Omega De Ville Quartz Gold-Tone Dial Watch, Circa 1982 – Ref. LKRP 51842 Introduction This is a quartz-powered Omega De Ville, dated to 1982, featuring a cushion-shaped case with a gold-tone dial. The dial presents a clean, minimalist layout with applied baton markers and a matching set of hands, accented by the Omega emblem and "De Ville Quartz" signature below the twelve o'clock marker. The watch is fitted with a mesh-style bracelet in a matching gold-tone finish, contributing to a cohesive and balanced overall appearance typical of Omega's design approach during this period. Historical & Collector Value The De Ville line was introduced by Omega as a dress watch collection, distinguished by cleaner, more understated case designs compared to the brand's sport-oriented models. The adoption of quartz movements during the late 1970s and into the 1980s reflects the broader industry shift toward quartz technology during this era, a period often referred to as the "quartz crisis," during which Swiss manufacturers like Omega incorporated quartz calibers into their established model lines. This example illustrates the design language and technical transition characteristic of Omega's output from this period.
