Brand: Omega
Model: De Ville
Reference Number: 111.140
Serial Number: 40453698
Movement: Manual wind, Caliber 625, 17 jewels
Dial: Champagne with brushed finish and applied black stick indices
Case Size: 32 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-plated, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1977
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +24+26s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The champagne dial is exceptionally clean and well-preserved, featuring a beautiful brushed finish. The surface is free of any significant spotting or damage, allowing the minimalist layout to take center stage. Applied black stick indices provide a striking, legible contrast against the champagne background. The matching black stick hands are pristine, showing no visible corrosion or damage, and perfectly complement the dial markers for a cohesive visual presence.
Case and Crystal
The 32mm gold-plated case, paired with a stainless steel caseback, presents honest wear with visible patina on the gold plating. There is visible tarnish and oxidation on the case flanks and near the lugs, along with light scratches and handling marks throughout the surfaces. The gold-tone crown is signed with the Omega logo and shows some wear to the plating on the ridges. A flat acrylic crystal protects the dial, remaining clear with some light surface scratches visible under reflection.
Movement
Inside the case is the Omega Caliber 625, a 17-jewel manual-winding mechanical movement. The plates and bridges are clean, displaying no visible corrosion or significant scratches. The movement features crisp engravings, including OMEGA, SWISS, SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS, UNADJUSTED, 625, and the serial number 40 453698. Timegrapher results show +24+26s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching. The strap appears new or very lightly used, providing a fresh and comfortable feel on the wrist while complementing the dark accents of the dial.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The dial and hands remain in excellent, pristine shape with no significant damage. The gold-plated case displays honest age-related wear, including visible tarnish, oxidation on the flanks, and light scratches throughout. The signed crown exhibits plating wear, and the acrylic crystal bears light surface scratches. The movement is clean and running strong.
Dimensions
The case size is 32 mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This De Ville is notable for its remarkably clean champagne dial and reliable Caliber 625 manual-wind movement. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a classically proportioned dress watch with genuine vintage character and dependable mechanical performance.
History
The Omega De Ville line was established as a sophisticated collection focused on elegant design and refined dress watch aesthetics, separating itself from the sportier Seamaster family. The reference 111.140 exemplifies this philosophy with a notably slim case profile, measuring approximately 7.3mm in thickness. Powered by the dependable manual-winding caliber 625, this 1977 model represents the traditional Swiss approach to minimalist, well-proportioned timepieces designed for formal and everyday elegance.
