History
The Omega De Ville line was established to offer refined, elegant dress watches, distinct from the brand's robust sport and professional models.

The model is powered by the dependable manual-winding Omega caliber 625. This particular reference represents the quiet sophistication of 1970s dress timepieces, prioritizing clean lines and a slender profile on the wrist.
