Description

The white dial of this Omega Seamaster De Ville exudes sophistication, enhancing the gold-plated case with a complementary, minimalist look. Gold markers and hands bring subtle detail, ensuring legibility while emphasizing a classic design ethos. Omega’s choice to pair simplicity with refined accents has made this dial style iconic, ensuring its versatility across wardrobes and occasions. The result is a dial that feels as contemporary today as it was in 1963—a perfect example of Omega’s ability to blend form and function seamlessly.

The Case

The 34mm gold-plated case of the Seamaster De Ville strikes a balance between subtlety and style, embodying the refined aesthetic that Omega pursued in the 1960s. Its slim profile, enhanced by the seamless integration of lugs into the case, creates a streamlined silhouette that fits comfortably on the wrist, lending itself to both formal and casual settings. Omega’s De Ville models were crafted to maintain durability while achieving a sleek look, making this model particularly prized by collectors and enthusiasts.

The Movement

At the heart of this Seamaster De Ville is Omega’s renowned Caliber 562.
