The watch comes with a leather strap that adds a touch of class, making it perfect for formal occasions or everyday elegance. This Omega De Ville is a true WRISTCLASSIC—an ideal example of timeless style, quality, and refinement. I cant describe this watch better then my dear Friend Joel: The Pavés d’Or, 1976, an elegant line for him and her, based on the hand-wound calibre 625 or the automatic calibre 711 without seconds. The watches were equipped with an ultra-flat and shock-resistant movement protected by a rectangular two-tone steel and 14-carat gold case with rounded edges and with a fine satin-brushed or chiselled decoration (striped or checked). Flat bezel with a polished bevel, polished case middle, sapphire crystal, black dial, polished, faceted and riveted gold baguette hours markers and polished gold baton hands.

OMEGA

Omega was founded in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Louis Brandt. Out of this small watch manufacture grew a large company: In 1894, the famous 19-ligne pocket watch movement was developed and named “Omega”. Omega, as the final letter of the Greek alphabet, stands for the ultimate level in perfection and quality. In the 1930 the company entered into collaboration with the S.S.I.H. (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère). Out of this collaboration the Swatch Group developed. Today, Omega is the flagship of this huge company. In 1932, Omega entered its partnership with the Olympics which continues till today. When in 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin accomplished the first moon landing there were equipped by Omega with the Speedmaster, and this so-called „Moonwatch“ is still regarded as one of the most significant watches in history.
