History & Significance
Jump hour watches have long been associated with high-end watchmaking, their digital-style displays requiring intricate mechanics and precise calibration. While brands like Audemars Piguet and Cartier are known for their jump hour models, Omega’s brief foray into this complication makes the De Ville Prestige Jump Hour an exceptional piece within the brand’s archive.
Introduced in 1998 and produced for just one year, the Ref. 4153.31 was part of Omega’s De Ville collection, a line celebrated for elegance and experimentation. The watch combined a compact yet striking case design with a dual-finish salmon guilloché dial, applied numerals, and a jump hour display that advanced crisply each hour.
What makes this model special is the balance between form and function; it’s an unconventional design that feels playful yet is executed with the precision and polish expected of Omega. Few examples were ever made, and even fewer survive in such well-preserved condition, making this a standout reference for collectors who appreciate both rarity and refinement.
Writer’s Thoughts
On the wrist, the jumping hour complication feels charming rather than gimmicky, and the gold case wears more comfortably than its shape suggests. It has character without being loud, and it feels especially well-suited for someone who appreciates uncommon complications executed with restraint.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This Omega Seamaster Ref. 166.0167 is offered in original condition, representing a refined and versatile take on one of Omega’s most enduring collections.
