Omega De Ville Prestige Automatic Chronometer 34,70 mm

The De Ville Prestige Collection

The De Ville collection appeared at Omega in the 1960s. Originally, the name referred to the most elegant versions of the Seamaster, before gradually becoming a standalone collection dedicated to the brand’s dress watches.

Over the decades, the De Ville line established itself as the most classical expression of Omega. Far removed from the brand’s diving watches or sporty chronographs, it focuses on elegance, refinement and purity of design.

The De Ville Prestige collection, introduced in the 1990s, perfectly embodies this philosophy. It is characterized by clean dials, slender applied indexes, elegant cases and balanced proportions designed to create a timeless dress watch.

Designed to accompany everyday moments as well as more formal occasions, the De Ville Prestige still represents one of the most refined expressions of classic watchmaking at Omega.

The Model

This Omega De Ville Prestige reference 168.1050 perfectly reflects the classic elegance of the collection. Its 35 mm stainless steel case features soft, balanced lines and proportions that are ideal for a dress watch, with a refined thinness allowing it to slip easily beneath a shirt cuff.

The silver dial stands out for its understated sophistication. Applied indexes and dauphine hands ensure clear and elegant legibility, while the date window at 3 o’clock adds a discreet touch of practicality. The dial is protected by a slightly domed sapphire crystal, adding depth while improving resistance to scratches.

Mechanically, this De Ville is powered by the Omega calibre 1120, an automatic chronometer-certified movement developed in the late 1990s — a period that marked Omega’s strong return to mechanical watchmaking. Based on the renowned ETA 2892-A2 architecture, this calibre is appreciated for its thin profile, reliability and excellent chronometric performance. COSC-certified, it reflects Omega’s commitment to precision even in its most classic timepieces.

The watch is fitted with a refined stainless steel bracelet composed of seven polished links, offering excellent comfort and a seamless integration with the case design. This bracelet adds an extra touch of sophistication while preserving the timeless character of the watch.
