Omega De Ville watches were originally marketed as water resistant, self-winding timepieces from 1960. Their varied and adaptable designs became very popular and by 1967, it had become the largest range within the Omega brand. The accessibly simple design of the case and its variability sealed it as a leading timepiece among luxury watch brands.
Before too long, new families like the Omega De Ville Prestige, Ladymatic, and Tresor had been introduced on this wave of popularity.
Over the years, Omega De Ville Prestige watches have more than earned their reputation among the most desirable watches available.
Omega De Ville Prestige watches were the first on the planet to use Co-Axial technology.
Developed in partnership with a British watchmaker, this technology would lead to the development of the Omega De Ville Co-Axial Chronometer as an option alongside the existing quartz watches.
The main benefits to using this technology are its main feature, using an escape wheel with the escape pinion mounted co-axially. This meant that friction was reduced within the watch’s movement, which in turn produced a more accurate and hard-wearing timepiece.
This movement has been updated again recently, with the new Omega Co-Axial Escapement movement being more precise than ever. The Omega De Ville Chronoscope, in addition to using this new movement, also has a more modern appearance with greater colour and design choices.
There are also options for those who prefer Omega De Ville quartz watches, including many Omega De Ville ladies watches available here at Banks Lyon, an official Omega stockist.
Many watches in this range belong to a subfamily like the famous Omega De Ville Prestige or Tresor lines, each of which have become highly sought after names in the industry.
Someone wishing to own an Omega de Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer or a ladies watch will be looking for the right place to buy, with a wide selection from the family and the trust of the brand.
Banks Lyon Jewellers are pleased to be authorised stockists, ensuring that you have 100% guarantee of authenticity when buying from us. If you would like to find out more information about the availability or prices of Omega watches, or enquire about paying for your watch in monthly instalments according to our 0% finance options, please call us on 01524 297 011 or email [email protected] and one of our team will be in touch.
If the watch has stopped or you are about to wear it for the first time in a while, we recommend gently turning the crown in its normal position (do not pull it out). Roughly 30-40 clockwise turns should be sufficient. You might notice a slight resistance as you near a full wind, but that is perfectly normal.
For those who do not wear their watch every day, a quick manual wind before each wear ensures it is powered up and ready to go. And even if your De Ville is stored, a quick wind every few weeks helps keep the internal lubricants distributed, ensuring the movement stays in top condition. Just remember not to overwind; while there is a built-in safety mechanism, stopping when you feel resistance is a good habit. With a full wind, your watch will be set for about 48-60 hours of power, so you are good to go for at least a couple of days.
Amongst the OMEGA De Ville watches, you will find the Prestige pieces that feature synthetic sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The coating on this crystal reduces glare by up to 99%, significantly improving readability in various lighting conditions.
Sapphire is one of the hardest and most scratch-resistant materials available, second only to diamond hardness with its rating of 9 on the Mohs scale (an internationally agreed hardness scale in use since 1812 to rate a material’s hardness and scratch resistance). The dual anti-reflective coating reduces glare from direct light, making the dial easily readable in bright conditions, whether indoors or outside. The combination of durability and clarity ensures that the watch remains a pleasure to wear, offering both beauty and function in equal measure.
The OMEGA Master Co-Axial Calibre 8800, featured in models like the Prestige Co-Axial Master Chronometer 34mm and the Prestige 41mm, is packed with impressive enhancements that make it an improvement on standard automatic watches.
The Co-Axial escapement reduces friction between the components, which means your watch stays accurate for longer and experiences less wear and tear. The Master Chronometer certification from METAS guarantees exceptional precision, performance, and resistance to magnetic fields.
This calibre can withstand magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, far surpassing the average of 48,000 from lesser watches. The silicon balance spring further boosts resistance to both magnetic interference and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the free-sprung balance wheel allows for precise regulation, improved shock resistance and a long power reserve of about 55 hours.
Remember, however, that OMEGA recommends an annual water resistance check for De Ville timepieces to ensure that the gaskets and seals remain intact. A complete service, including movement maintenance, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing, should be done every 4-5 years, with polishing or crystal replacement if needed.
