A refined and historically significant De Ville — ideal for collectors seeking true 1960s Omega heritage.

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega has become one of the most celebrated names in the history of watchmaking. Now headquartered in Biel/Bienne, Omega continues to represent the perfect fusion of Swiss craftsmanship, pioneering spirit, and timeless design. Each Omega timepiece is a testament to excellence — worn by explorers, astronauts, athletes, and visionaries who trust only the very best.
The Seamaster, introduced in 1948, embodies elegance and endurance, designed for those who venture beneath the waves and beyond — including the world’s most famous secret agent, James Bond. The Aqua Terra brings together maritime heritage and refined sophistication, making it a perfect balance of sport and style. And the legendary Speedmaster, launched in 1957, became the first watch worn on the Moon, accompanying NASA astronauts during the historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
To wear an Omega is to carry a piece of history — a symbol of achievement, adventure, and precision. Each watch reflects more than 175 years of horological mastery, created for those who appreciate innovation, authenticity, and the enduring beauty of true Swiss luxury.
