Omega De Ville Prestige 39.5 424.10.40.20.01.001

De Ville began in 1960 as a dressier branch of the Seamaster and became a collection of its own in 1967. It covers Omega's classic dress watches, from slim time-only models to chronographs and tourbillons.

The catalog includes lines such as the De Ville Prestige, Trésor and Hour Vision, in steel and red or yellow gold, many with the Co-Axial caliber 2500 or later Master Chronometer movements. Dealers identify a De Ville by its full reference, which records the sub-line, size and movement, and check strap condition and papers, since these watches trade more on condition than on scarcity.
