An elegant example of Omega's De Ville collection, this manual-wind dress watch dates to the mid-1970s and showcases the clean, understated styling that made the line so popular. Featuring a distinctive TV-screen-shaped cushion case, warm champagne dial and decorative black cabochon crown, it is a wonderfully refined take on everyday vintage dress-watch design.
The case measures 28.8mm across, excluding the crown, with an elongated 40.4mm lug-to-lug measurement and an exceptionally slim profile of just 5.9mm. Finished in yellow gold plating over a stainless steel base, the case has a sleek, architectural shape that sits elegantly on the wrist and slips easily beneath a shirt cuff. The original design is complemented by a decorative black cabochon stone set into the winding crown.
The minimalist champagne-coloured dial is particularly attractive, with slim black baton hour markers and delicate matching pencil hands. The Omega name and iconic Greek-letter logo sit above the De Ville signature, while Swiss Made appears neatly at 6 o'clock. Its restrained layout and warm metallic tones give the watch a distinctly 1970s character.
Inside is the Omega Calibre 625, a compact 17-jewel manual-winding movement developed for Omega's slimmer dress watches. Operating at 21,600 beats per hour, it offers an approximate 40-hour power reserve when fully wound. Its slim construction allowed Omega to create elegant, low-profile watches without sacrificing traditional mechanical watchmaking.
Introduced to Omega's International Collection in 1976, reference ST 111.0131 belongs to a period when the De Ville collection was embracing more contemporary case shapes and minimalist styling. The collection had established itself as one of Omega's most recognizable dress-watch lines, offering an alternative to the sportier Seamaster and the chronometer-focused Constellation.
A handsome and understated vintage Omega, combining an elegant cushion-shaped case, distinctive cabochon crown and slim mechanical movement. A wonderful choice for anyone who appreciates classic 1970s design and traditional Swiss watchmaking.
