Unisex, it is equally suited to a man or a woman. Its \u003cstrong\u003eround stainless steel case\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a slender bezel and short, angular lugs, embodies the refined classicism of the early 1970s. It measures 33mm (34mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 35mm and a thickness of only \u003cstrong\u003e6.35mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. A piece of great finesse, made to slip under a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esilver dial\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals a sunray-brushed finish that catches the light with discreet radiance. Twelve faceted applied baton markers punctuate the perimeter, with no numerals or railroad track: the absolute sobriety of the dress watch. The Ω symbol and the OMEGA signature occupy the upper part of the dial, the mention DE VILLE the lower part, with SWISS MADE at the base. Two slender baton hands are all that is needed: no seconds hand, no date, only the hours and minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eOmega 625 caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e, a mechanical \u003cstrong\u003ehand-wound\u003c\/strong\u003e movement, one of Omega's last extra-thin manual calibers before the transition to quartz. Its slim construction is precisely what allows the watch's 6.35mm profile. No battery here: the watch is wound by hand each morning, with a gesture now rare. The movement of this example has been serviced by our watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece wears as a timeless \u003cstrong\u003e{{6bc21f59930c751631e87a30ef009c37} watch\u003c\/strong\u003e. The polished steel and silver dial form an ensemble of great restraint, here highlighted by a grained \u003cstrong\u003elight brown leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap that warms the whole and offers a beautiful vintage contrast. This strap is not original; it is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003ebuckle\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eLug width\u003c\/strong\u003e of 17mm leaves the choice of replacement straps open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch is mechanical with hand-wound movement: it must be wound daily to function.

Born in 1967, when the maison separated its de ville watches from the Seamaster range, it brings together pieces with a clean, elegant design, conceived for dress wear rather than sport. This example is an ultra-thin steel manual-winding version, in the purest dress watch spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Omega automatic or quartz ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeither: it is mechanical with manual winding. Its calibre 625 must be wound by hand, generally once a day, by turning the crown. There is neither a battery nor an automatic rotor. It is a rare mode of operation, and one of the appeals of this piece for lovers of traditional mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat year is this Omega from ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1971. Unlike many vintage watches, this dating is not an estimate: the serial number engraved on the movement falls within the 36 million range, which Omega reference tables attribute to this period. It is verifiable information, not a rough estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you wind a manual-winding watch ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGently turn the crown clockwise about twenty turns, until you feel resistance. Never force it beyond that point. Daily winding, at the same time each day, is enough to keep the watch running and ensures the best regularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 33mm case suitable for which wrist ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 33mm diameter with a Lug-to-lug of 35mm is ideally suited to wrists of approximately 15 to 19cm. It is the classic dress watch format: discreet on a masculine wrist, perfectly proportioned on a feminine wrist. Its 6.35mm thickness allows it to slip under a shirt cuff without the slightest discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54323938197841,"sku":"111.0107 cal.625 36579527","price":1417.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_04792_ed878d2f-5aa2-4f81-8d80-53916b663463.jpg?v=1785835744","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-omega-watch-de-ville-111-0107-stainless-steel-silver-dial-hand-wound-1971","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
