Omega De Ville — Swiss Automatic Elegance in Gold
This Omega De Ville automatic watch, dated 1978, embodies the art of the Swiss dress watch as Omega mastered it in the late 1970s: a gold-plated cushion case with soft lines, a sunburst gilt dial, and an in-house automatic movement. The De Ville line, dedicated to dress elegance, here presents one of its purest and most desirable expressions.
The cushion case — square with softened corners — displays a silhouette characteristic of its era, at once understated and assertive. Its warm gold plating, enhanced by the tone-on-tone dial, lends it a refined presence that never veers into ostentation. A watch designed to dress the wrist with distinction, from the office to the most formal occasions.
The sunburst gilt dial is a fine example of Omega savoir-faire: its delicate radiant striations catch the light, its applied baton indexes structure the reading, and its date window at 3 o'clock adds a practical touch. The Ω OMEGA signature, the De Ville Automatic mention, and the Swiss Made inscription recall the piece's pedigree. The dial edges have developed a slight natural patina that speaks to its history and adds the charm of a true Omega vintage watch.
Driven by the Omega 1010 automatic caliber, an in-house movement renowned for its robustness and reliability, this De Ville is fitted with a black suede leather strap that underscores its understated elegance. Ideal 32mm size for unisex wear Unisex. Selected, authenticated, and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
