Watch Overview

This vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville from 1966 exemplifies the beautiful simplicity that defined mid-century Swiss watchmaking. The 34mm round case with classic lugs design, a smooth bezel and domed acrylic crystal, frames a clean silver-tone dial accented by gold-tone baton markers, luminous dots, and matching hands. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock adds function without compromising its classic and elegant design.

Powered by an automatic self-winding movement with a sweep second hand and a date complication, the Seamaster De Ville delivers reliable performance and elegant precision. The watch is fitted with a brand-new brown leather strap that complements its design, while the engraved case back adds a personal historical touch.

Inspected and authenticated by our in-house watchmaker, this piece is in good vintage condition, showing gentle signs of wear and a beautifully preserved dial. It comes with its original Omega box making this timepiece a perfect addition for any collector or enthusiast of 1960s Omega craftsmanship.

History & Legacy of Omega

Omega is a Swiss luxury watchmaker known for producing high-quality and prestigious timepieces. The company was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland; Louis Brandt started as a watchmaker, and he produced key-wound pocket watches. Originally, it was called "Louis Brandt et Frère" and they primarily produced pocket watches and it was until 1903 that the company officially adopted the name "Omega."

Throughout its history, Omega has continued to innovate and produce high-quality timepieces. Today, it remains one of the most prestigious and respected Swiss watchmakers, offering a diverse range of collections that cater to various lifestyles and tastes. Today, Omega continues to be a prominent and highly regarded Swiss luxury watch brand.

Omega Constellation: The Omega Constellation was introduced in 1952 as a chronometer-certified collection, following the success of the 1948 Centenary, Omega’s first automatic chronometer. Known for its precision, the Constellation featured automatic movements and the signature observatory medallion caseback. In 1970, Omega launched the Constellation Electroquartz, embracing the quartz revolution. Today, the Constellation remains a symbol of Omega’s commitment to accuracy, innovation, and timeless design.

About Vintage Timepieces

Vintage watches often run smaller than today’s standards. Men’s wristwatches typically measure between 29–36mm (excluding the crown), while women’s models—especially from the early 1900s to the 1970s—can be considerably smaller. We encourage you to review the measurements provided and reach out with any sizing questions.

Our collection features timepieces that are 20 to 100 years old. Naturally, they may show honest signs of age such as light scratches, patina, or worn straps—features that often add to their unique character and charm. Unless noted as recently serviced, vintage watches may eventually require routine maintenance to keep accurate time. If you’re looking for quartz-level precision, a modern watch may be a better fit.

Pre-Owned Condition

We offer a mix of brand new and pre-owned watches. Pre-owned pieces might have some cosmetic wear, which we always describe clearly. Take a close look at the photos and don’t hesitate to message us if you have any questions before buying.
