Omega De Ville Ladies
This Omega De Ville is a strikingly minimalist expression of 1970s design, defined by its elongated, ultra-slim silhouette. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the narrow rectangular case measures approximately 11 × 36 mm, creating a refined, architectural presence on the wrist. The gold dial is pared back to its essentials, featuring linear detailing and a recessed circular minute track that draws the eye inward. Integrated seamlessly into an 18k yellow-gold bracelet, the watch reads as a continuous piece of jewelry: elegant, restrained, and unmistakably modern.
Excellent vintage condition with very minor wear
During the 1970s, Omega’s De Ville line became a canvas for design experimentation, particularly in the realm of form and proportion. Watches like this moved away from traditional round cases, embracing elongated geometries that echoed contemporary architectural and industrial design. The result was a series of pieces that prioritized line, balance, and material over ornamentation.
This example exemplifies that philosophy. Its slender profile and integrated bracelet emphasize verticality and flow, while the dial’s minimalist execution reinforces the era’s preference for clarity and restraint. Rather than presenting time as the focal point, the design allows gold craftsmanship and proportion to take precedence.
Preserved in excellent vintage condition with very minor wear, this De Ville stands as a refined and quietly bold example of Omega’s design-forward approach- a watch that functions as both timepiece and sculptural adornment.
