The Watch
.
The Omega De Ville first began as a sub-collection of the brand's Seamaster line in the early 1960s. By the latter half of the decade, Omega decided to make the De Ville its own collection, and in 1967, it became a permanent fixture of the brand's catalogue.
.
Today's Watch is the ref.166.033 DeVille with some pretty stunning features to write home about. Of course, the watch is fitted to a correct and matching Omega 1037 bracelet, which is great to see. The applied Omega symbol and branding on the dial are also very nice touches that give the dial some added depth. The dial has a lovely brushed linen finish which sparkles in the Sunlight.
