Description

Introduced in the late 1960s as a standalone collection, the Omega De Ville line quickly earned recognition for its clean lines and urban sophistication, departing from Omega’s more rugged tool watches. The 162.0071 model from 1977 follows in this tradition, with a case diameter of 33mm, a size that was classically proportioned for the era but retains a versatile, unisex appeal today. Crafted from 18k solid gold, the case boasts a polished finish that enhances its elegance, making it an ideal choice for formal settings or as a subtle statement piece for everyday wear. The slender lugs and slim profile allow the watch to sit comfortably on the wrist, embodying the era’s preference for discretion over ostentation.

What sets this particular De Ville apart is not only its refined aesthetics but also its reliable heart—the automatic Omega Caliber 1012. Unlike earlier manual-wind models, the 1012 was part of Omega’s later generation of automatic movements, introduced in the early 1970s. It was designed to be a robust workhorse, with a focus on both precision and durability, offering a practical yet sophisticated choice for the wearer. The rotor, beautifully crafted, winds efficiently with the movement of the wrist, eliminating the need for daily manual winding—an evolution that speaks to Omega’s forward-thinking engineering..

A rare and well-preserved piece from the late 1970s, this reference 162.0071 exemplifies the sophistication of vintage Omega. Its 18k gold case and minimalist white dial reflect a design ethos that has aged gracefully, remaining relevant even decades later. As with many vintage Omegas, this model is not just a timekeeper but a bridge to a storied past, offering collectors and enthusiasts a piece of horological history with every glance at the wrist.

What we love:

  • Pristine condition 18k solid gold case
  • Clean white dial

What you should know:
