Our View

The late 1960s produced some wonderfully stylish Omega designs, and this De Ville is a perfect example. The unusual square case, minimalist dial and slim proportions create a watch that still feels remarkably modern today.

What makes this example particularly appealing is its completeness. Finding a ladies’ vintage Omega still accompanied by its original boxes, papers and manual is becoming increasingly uncommon, especially when the sale date is documented.

A beautiful vintage Omega that offers elegance, originality and collectability in equal measure.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Introduced in the 1960s as a distinct collection within the Omega brand, the De Ville line was created to represent refined dress timepieces. Characterised by streamlined cases, understated dial designs, and precision mechanical movements, these watches emphasized formal elegance over sporty functionality.

Mid-century Swiss timepieces were constructed using durable stainless steel or precious metal cases containing hand-wound or automatic movements. Dials were finished with silvered or brushed effects, covered by acrylic crystals, and secured with leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by checking the serial and reference numbers stamped inside the case back and on the movement. Original dial fonts, correct logo proportions, and period-appropriate documentation or packaging further confirm authenticity.

A slim mid-century watch serves as a versatile accessory that pairs with contemporary tailoring, casual knitwear, or formal attire. Its low profile allows it to slide comfortably beneath a cuff, offering subtle vintage detail.

Mechanical timepieces require regular servicing by a qualified watchmaker every three to five years to refresh lubricants and check seals. They should be kept clear of moisture, strong magnetic fields, and severe impacts to preserve accuracy.
