History & Significance
The De Ville collection began as a subline of the Seamaster in the early 1960s before becoming its own distinct series. It was conceived as Omega’s more refined offering, tailored for a dressier look rather than the sports-oriented focus of its Seamaster and Speedmaster siblings.
By the mid-1960s, Omega transitioned to sleeker, more contemporary case shapes and thinner automatic movements like the Caliber 711, allowing for a slimmer profile without sacrificing precision. These watches embodied the aesthetic of the time: clean dials, narrow bezels, and restrained use of lume, reflecting the sophistication of mid-century Swiss design.
This reference 165.008 stands out for its combination of subtlety and craftsmanship. The sunburst silver dial with creamy tritium plots and its unpolished case preserve the character collectors seek in honest vintage examples. It’s a testament to Omega’s mastery of understated design and technical refinement.
Writer’s Thoughts
This is the kind of vintage Omega that quietly impresses. The proportions are perfect, the finishing elegant, and the patina authentic. The warm tritium lume and the silver sunburst texture give the watch a charm that’s distinctly 1960s. It’s timeless, wearable, and versatile, exactly what makes the De Ville line such an enduring favorite among collectors.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This Omega is offered in original condition, representing an uncommon and stylish take on one of Omega’s most iconic model families.
