In the De Ville line, introduced in 1960, Omega combined the water-resistant case of the Seamaster collection with high-grade movements often used in other references. However, the cases of the De Ville line — in any metal — were thinner and more elegant than their sportier contemporaries. In such a way, elegance was not substituted for functionality, and the De Ville could be worn with a suit and not lose any of its water resistance. As time progressed, so too did the spec sheet of the average De Ville become more impressive, leading to a collection of handsome yet robust timepieces perfect for everyday wear. The particular De Ville we have here is Trésor — a gorgeous watch perfectly suited to more formal occasions. Housed in a 40mm white gold case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and smooth polished bezel, it features a beautiful, textured dial with oversized, applied indices and a matching handset. Powered by the Omega Calibre 8511 manual winding movement and paired to a signed, black leather strap with a signed white gold pin buckle, it’s accompanied by its factory goodies, ready for a second life with somebody who appreciates its ample, dressy charm. Is that somebody going to be you?
