Why We Love This Watch

Omega Seamaster, Omega's oldest and most varied watch line in their catalog, surprises collectors now and then with its depth. Started in 1948 as to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Omega, it was based on the Omega Marine, the original dive watch made in 1932. Around 1960, the De Ville line was made under the Seamaster line, making a dressier version of the usual sporty dive watch line. The De Ville was considered to be an "in-between" model, straddling the dressy cues of the Constellation and the functionality of a Seamaster.

Eventually, this "in-between" model took home 6 Baden-Baden Golden Rose Design awards in 1970. This Seamaster De Ville sports a thick, gold plated case that had a day-date function, showcasing its elegance and purposeful design exquisitely. Finer details such as gold inlays and the day-date function having a gold border showcase Omega's prowess that won them the Baden-Baden Golden Rose Design award. Functionality may not always mean ruggedness, neither would elegance always be delicate, as this Seamaster De Ville is proof that both philosophies can co-exist.
