Square Elegance from Omega’s 1960s De Ville Line
Vintage Omega De Ville reference 161.014 reflects the compact, geometric direction of circa 1966. Its 26 mm steel square case and pale dial with baton markers give the watch a restrained, architectural presence, balanced by the warmth of an acrylic crystal and a leather strap. Within, Omega’s automatic calibre 671 brings a mechanical counterpoint to the clean exterior. The combination of square-case styling, modest proportions and a period automatic movement makes this De Ville a thoughtful choice for collectors drawn to quietly distinctive 1960s dress watches.
