Dial and Hands
The silver dial features a distinct vertical brushed finish that creates a beautiful interplay with light. It is accented by applied gold-tone faceted indices and a matching Omega logo.

The case is constructed with a gold-tone upper section and lugs paired with a stainless steel caseback. It shows honest vintage wear, with light surface scratches and minor handling marks consistent with age. The lugs retain good shape and definition. A thin gold-tone bezel integrates neatly with the case design and shows light surface scratches consistent with the rest of the watch. The gold-tone scalloped crown is clearly signed with the Omega logo and exhibits light wear to the plating on its edges. On the reverse, the stainless steel caseback features a crisp Seahorse medallion. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, with no major scratches, crazing, or cracks visible.

History
The Seamaster De Ville line emerged in the 1960s as Omega sought to bridge the gap between their robust, sporty Seamaster models and their more formal dress watches. By combining the reliable architecture of the Seamaster family with refined, elegant aesthetics, the De Ville became a highly popular choice for those seeking a versatile and sophisticated timepiece. Today, these models remain highly regarded by vintage collectors for their balanced proportions and enduring design language.
