Omega DeVille Ladies

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 Vill become more impressive, leading to a collection of handsome yet robust timepieces perfect for everyday wear. The particular De Ville we have here is a ladies model Reference 511.0502. Housed in a 24.5mm x 30mm stainless steel case with a black cabochon winding crown and a mineral crystal, it features a satin silver dial with applied, black-painted indices and a matching pencil handset. Powered by the manually wound Omega Calibre 625 movement, it comes paired to a stainless steel mesh band with a fold-over clasp. Simple, elegant and unassuming, this is the type of vintage watch whose considered elegance never goes out of style. Don’t believe us? Try it on for size!
