Description

At 22mm, the petite case size of this Omega De Ville makes it a refined, elegant choice for those who appreciate discreet luxury on the wrist. Crafted in polished stainless steel, the case is as durable as it is graceful, maintaining a clean, classic appearance that complements the understated design of the dial. The De Ville collection was known for its streamlined, modern appeal, and this model exemplifies that ethos, featuring slender lugs that allow for a comfortable and elegant fit, perfect for daily wear or formal occasions. Omega’s attention to the finishing details, even in smaller ladies’ models, ensures this timepiece remains a treasured classic.

The Movement

Inside, the watch houses Omega’s Caliber 485, a manual-wind movement renowned for its precision and reliability. Part of the well-regarded 480 series, Caliber 485 is a movement developed specifically for smaller case sizes, bringing Omega’s superior engineering to a more compact form. Known for its accuracy, Caliber 485 is an example of Omega’s dedication to maintaining the same level of quality and performance across all its timepieces, regardless of size. For collectors, this movement is appreciated for its resilience and simplicity, requiring minimal maintenance to keep time accurately over the decades.

The Dial

The grey dial on this De Ville exudes a subtle elegance, standing out with its sleek, monochromatic finish. Silver-tone applied hour markers and slim baton hands complement the grey backdrop, creating a cohesive look that balances readability with sophistication. Omega’s choice of a grey dial adds a modern yet versatile touch, making this vintage piece just as suitable for today’s fashion as it was in the early 1970s. The minimalist design, combined with the lack of a seconds hand, enhances the clean, uncluttered aesthetic that characterizes the De Ville collection.

This 1971 Omega De Ville Ladies watch is more than just a timepiece; it’s a testament to Omega’s ability to combine style and precision in an elegant, wearable form. Perfect for those who value understated luxury, this vintage De Ville is a timeless piece that resonates with the sophistication of the era, making it an enduring choice for collectors and vintage watch enthusiasts alike.
