Features/Selling Points
"One of the world's smallest automatics. Tonneau-shaped De Ville."
Today, we're introducing Omega's De Ville automatic watch, Ref. 551.050. The De Ville collection, meaning "street corner" in French, has been popular since its launch in 1967 as both a dressy and casual line. It remains a signature series for the company today.
This watch is equipped with an ultra-compact automatic movement from the 1970s. Its luxurious 24-jewel design speaks to the high cost required for women's models of the time.
The dial features a hairline-finished silver dial. The watch features a combination of upright bar indexes and sharp pencil hands. The Omega emblem sits at the 12 o'clock position, creating a sophisticated two-hand design. Despite its compact 20mm case diameter, Omega's pride is evident throughout, with details like the engraved Omega crown and hidden logo in the center of the crystal.
The band is made of chic, non-Omega black leather. Its unified monotone design makes this an Omega masterpiece that complements formal attire as well as everyday casual styles with a sophisticated touch.
