--- Introduction --- De Ville was the name Omega gave to its dress watches when it wanted them free of the Seamaster's tool-watch obligations, and this small ladies example shows what that freedom bought. The polished steel case is barely larger than the dial it holds, and that dial is a deep slate grey - unusual for the line, and far more interesting than the silver most of them wore. Applied baton markers, two hands, no date, nothing else. Behind it sits a hand-wound Omega calibre. --- Specifications --- Brand: Omega Series: De Ville Reference: De Ville Movement: Swiss manual winding Case Material: Stainless steel Crystal: Mineral crystal Dial: Slate grey with applied baton markers and Omega signature Case Back: Stainless steel, plain brushed finish Bracelet: Black leather strap with gold-tone pin buckle Period: 1970-1979 Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: An elegant vintage example in good pre-owned condition, showing honest signs of wear consistent with age.
