Omega De Ville – Automatic Date – Silver Dial – 40 × 36 mm

This vintage Omega De Ville sets a round silver dial inside a sculpted stainless steel case with broad brushed surfaces and clipped corners. Slim baton markers, an applied Omega emblem and a framed date window at 3 o’clock keep the dial understated, letting the shape of the case stand out. The watch is fitted with a generic black leather strap and supplied in a generic box.

Story & Heritage

At first glance, the silver dial has the familiar simplicity of a classic De Ville. Turn the watch in the light and the case tells a different story: the brushing fans out around the dial, while the clipped corners give the steel a distinctly angular silhouette. The straight grain of the dial plays against the radiating finish of the case, giving two silver surfaces very different looks.

On black leather, that contrast is what makes this Omega memorable. It has the quiet dial of a dress watch and a case with enough character to catch the eye as it comes out from under a shirt cuff.
