History The Omega De Ville collection originally debuted as part of the Seamaster line before becoming a standalone family in 1967. Positioned as Omega's dedicated dress watch collection, the De Ville prioritized elegance, refined case geometries, and sophisticated dials over the robust sporting characteristics of the Seamaster and Speedmaster lines. Standard production ladies' models from the late 1970s, such as this example, continue to represent the classic design language of the era.
