Its combination of a slim 7.3mm profile, a reliable manual-wind caliber, and a clean silver sunburst dial makes it a highly versatile formal timepiece. For the collector seeking an honest, wearable vintage dress watch, this De Ville delivers exceptional mid-century character and strong mechanical performance. History Originally introduced as part of the Seamaster family, the De Ville collection became an independent line for Omega in 1967. This transition allowed the brand to focus strictly on refined, elegant aesthetics away from their robust sports models. The reference 111.077 perfectly demonstrates this formal design language, utilizing the manual-winding Caliber 620 to achieve a slender 7.3mm overall case thickness. By intentionally omitting the seconds hand, Omega created a pure, minimalist dress watch appreciated for its classic proportions and understated presence.
