1968 Omega Seamaster De Ville Automatic (Ref. LL6287-1) 'Cal. 550'

First released in 1948 in celebration of Omega’s centennial anniversary, the Seamaster became a worldwide success and was the brand’s top seller for a long time. Today, it’s the longest-running name in the Omega catalog and still holds a special place in plenty of collectors’ hearts.

The Omega De Ville was first introduced as a subcategory under the Seamaster name in the early '60s, until Omega saw the early success of the younger and dressier styles of the De Ville. In 1967, Omega made the De Ville a stand-alone product line within the Omega family, and it remains today as one of the brand's most respected names for producing many unique designs.
