Omega
De Ville ladies' round, gold
This vintage Omega De Ville ladies' dress watch dates from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, perfectly capturing the era's lean toward sleek minimalism and distinctive color palettes. It features a strikingly vibrant, goldenrod yellow dial anchored by crisp, black linear baton hour markers and clean, slender matching hands. The round, gold-plated case provides a warm, elegant frame to the vivid dial, while its low-profile silhouette ensures a lightweight, sophisticated presence on the wrist. Completed by a brown alligator-pattern leather strap that adds a touch of classic texture, this timepiece is a rare and character-filled variation within Omega’s historic dress watch lineup.

Catalogue note
Embodying the bold and expressive design language of the late 1970s and early 1980s, this Omega De Ville elegant ladies' timepiece highlights the brand’s mastery over mid-century minimalism mixed with avant-garde color aesthetics. Departing from standard silver or champagne tones, this specimen introduces a highly coveted and rare goldenrod yellow dial, framed by crisp, ultra-thin linear baton markers that optimize readability without disrupting the dial's clean surface. The round, gold-plated case remains remarkably low-profile, representing the thin-profile silhouette prized in high-society dress watches of the era. Paired with a texturized alligator-grain leather strap, this particular variant serves as a compelling intersection of traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship and daring, retro-chic styling, making it an excellent standalone conversation piece for curators of distinctive vintage horology.
