History & Significance
The De Ville line began in the early 1960s as part of Omega’s effort to separate its refined dress watches from the sportier Seamaster range. By the late 1970s, models like the reference 162.0063 reflected Omega’s modern design direction with slimmer automatic movements housed in minimal gold-accented cases that focused on precision and wearability.
This reference features a gold-plated steel case, stepped bezel, and a clean champagne dial that typifies the brand’s late 1970s aesthetic. It runs on Omega’s automatic caliber family from the same era, known for durability and consistent timekeeping. This piece represents the bridge between Omega’s mid-century heritage and the transitional period that led toward quartz technology while retaining the mechanical craftsmanship collectors value today.
Writer’s Thoughts
The proportions are ideal, and the stepped bezel adds presence without losing the simplicity that defines a good De Ville. It is a straightforward, well-built automatic Omega that wears well and delivers real value for what it is, a reliable vintage daily wearer.
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.
