Brand: Omega
Model: De Ville
Reference Number: 111.140
Serial Number: 41337542
Movement: Manual-winding Omega caliber 625, 17 jewels
Dial: Champagne with applied gold-tone indices and black inserts
Case Size: 32 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-plated, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1978
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +10+15s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The exceptionally clean champagne dial is beautifully preserved, featuring crisp black printed text that remains highly legible. Applied gold-tone indices are detailed with black inserts, complementing the pristine black stick hands. The hands show no visible oxidation or paint loss, maintaining a sharp and refined appearance that anchors the visual presence of the watch.
Case and Crystal
The gold-plated case with a stainless steel caseback displays honest wear and visible age-related oxidation. The integrated bezel and case edges exhibit plating wear, while the flanks show moderate scratches consistent with its age. Green verdigris buildup is present near the caseback lip and at the base of the signed Omega crown, which also shows significant plating wear. The flat acrylic crystal remains generally clear, displaying only minor surface scratches that do not obscure the dial.
Movement
Powering the watch is the reliable Omega caliber 625 manual-winding movement, engraved with seventeen jewels. The plates and bridges remain clean with no visible corrosion, and the screw heads show minimal wear. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The timegrapher records a rate of +10+15s/day.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a serviceable black leather strap featuring a crocodile pattern. The strap shows light wear on the inner lining and pairs suitably with the classic dress profile.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The dial and hands are exceptionally clean and well-preserved, standing out as the strongest visual assets of the watch. The gold-plated case and signed crown show clear signs of use, including plating wear, moderate scratches, age-related oxidation, and verdigris buildup. The acrylic crystal presents minor surface scratches. The manual-winding movement is visually clean and, supported by the recorded timegrapher result, is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case measures 32 mm in diameter, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This De Ville offers a pristine champagne dial paired with the reliable caliber 625 manual-winding movement. The classic ultra-thin proportions provide a sophisticated profile on the wrist, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts of traditional dress watches.
History
The De Ville collection was created to focus on elegant dress watch designs, distinguishing itself from the sportier Seamaster line. By the late 1970s, Omega had firmly established the De Ville as a platform for refined, ultra-thin mechanical timepieces. The manual-winding caliber 625 became a staple of this era, providing reliable performance within slim case profiles suited for formal wear.
