Omega De Ville Seamaster

The 1960s saw the introduction of the Omega De Ville range which had a new elegant design and a monocoque case. The Seamaster De Ville was introduced in 1963 and this married features of the Seamaster with the De Ville range, blending rugged performance with urban sophistication. It is celebrated for its slim profile, monocoque (front-loading) cases, and powered by robust Omega manual-wind or automatic movements, most notably the calibres 550, 562, 601, and 613 (often with date complications).
