De Ville Automatic "Deauville" Jumbo Rectangular

An imposing and architectural representation of early 1970s watch design, this Omega De Ville commands impressive wrist presence with its oversized "Jumbo Tank" stainless steel case, measuring approximately 27mm by 50mm. The watch features a bold, elongated rectangular silhouette defined by cleanly faceted edges, a vertically brushed bezel, and seamlessly integrated hooded covered lugs. Anchoring its retro-modern aesthetic is a vertically grained, muted grey-olive dial decorated with crisp white Roman numerals and an understated two-hand layout powered by a slender Omega Calibre 684 automatic movement. Completed by its original signed push-pull crown and paired with a classic black leather strap, this rare key-bolt compressor design stands out as a unique, sculptural dress piece that perfectly bridges vintage elegance with contemporary style..

Catalogue note

the audacious spirit of 1970s watch design, a decade defined by sculptural shapes and oversized proportions. While Omega is traditionally celebrated for its round sports chronographs and diving watches, the De Ville collection served as a canvas for avant-garde elegance. This is a prime example of the brand’s willingness to experiment with form, earning the "Jumbo Tank" moniker due to its commanding 27mm by 50mm rectangular silhouette.
