Omega DeVille Hour Vision Co-Axial

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, an Hour Vision Co-Axial Chronometer from circa 2015, is housed in a 41.5mm stainless steel and sapphire case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel. It features a beautiful, sunburst blue non-luminous dial with white gold applied indices, a matching stick handset, an outer minute track, and a date window at 3:00. Powered by the co-axial, chronometer-signed Omega Calibre 8500 automatic movement, it comes paired to a black alligator strap with a signed, stainless steel deployant clasp. Handsome, horologically impressive and versatile, this is a showstopper of a timepiece available at a price that won’t break the bank. And what’s more, it comes with many of its factory goodies.
