The Watch
Omega released the original Seamaster in 1948, and it has been a cornerstone of the brand's product family ever since. Omega made many different Seamaster variations over the years, with the Seamaster De Ville being one of the most prominent. The Seamaster De Ville was intended to combine a sophisticated dial aesthetic with a hard-wearing case design, intending to be a watch suitable for all occasions. Nowadays, Omega has separated the Seamaster and DeVille lines in its modern product offerings.
