OMEGA DE VILLE DATE AUTOMATIC REF. 166.0161

Some watches don't need a complicated story.

A clean case, a beautiful dial, and the right proportions are often enough.

This Omega De Ville Date from 1973 delivers exactly that. The stunning blue sunburst dial shifts from deep navy to vibrant metallic blue depending on the light, giving the watch a character that modern dress watches often struggle to replicate. Applied hour markers, the applied Omega logo, and slim baton hands complete a design that is unmistakably Omega's golden era of dress watches.

Inside beats Omega's dependable calibre 1012 automatic movement, recently serviced and ready for many years of enjoyment. The watch has also been fitted with a new plexiglass crystal, restoring the warm vintage appearance that collectors love.

At 35mm, it wears with elegant proportions while remaining highly versatile on the wrist. Whether paired with tailoring or casual wear, this De Ville proves that good design never ages.
