WHY WE CURATED IT:
An exceptional find and the only example of this De Ville 511.0504 variant we've ever seen. The De Ville line holds a special place in Omega’s history. Originally a sub-collection within the Seamaster range, it diverged into a standalone line by 1967, offering a refined diversification from the brand’s increasingly sport-oriented catalog. Over time, it even became the chosen platform for key technical milestones, such as Omega’s first co-axial escapement and first anti-magnetic central tourbillon. This piece features an engraved bezel reminiscent of Florentine finishing, paired with an intricate integrated vermeil woven bracelet (gold-plated 925 sterling silver) that extends the motif and tapers dramatically for some exquisite elegance. A spectacularly unique presentation, backed by substance. Inside ticks the reliable and much-loved Cal. 625 manual movement, performing beautifully. You’d expect something this special to command several times the price, but this is what true vintage value is all about!
