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.
