Brand heritage

Omega traces its history to 1848, when Louis Brandt set up his workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland; the Omega name comes from a celebrated movement of 1894. The company has been Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games many times since 1932, its Speedmaster was worn on the Moon in 1969, and it was among the Swiss pioneers of quartz watchmaking. The De Ville name first appeared in 1960 on dressier Seamaster models and became a collection in its own right in 1967.

In the 1980s and 1990s the De Ville range included many slim quartz models in steel and gold, of which this ladies reference is a typical example.
