History & Significance
The De Ville line became one of Omega’s most refined collections through the 1970s, known for slim profiles, clean dial designs, and, in some cases, models that moved away from traditional round formats.
The brushed gold-tone dial is a standard finish of the period. Omega leaned into minimalism, focusing on surface texture and slim markers rather than complex layouts. The result is a dress watch that feels understated but intentional, with a design language that still reads clearly as vintage Omega.
The reference 511.0472 is powered by a manual-wind movement, and the 27 by 35 mm case size gives the watch more presence than its measurements suggest, especially with the curved Ellipse shape.
Writer’s Thoughts
This is the kind of De Ville that delivers exactly what people look for in 1970s Omega design. The watch is simple, warm, and easy to wear. It is a clean expression of vintage dress watch design without feeling overly formal.

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.
