Omega Seamaster “De Ville” Gold Cap
Caliber 552 - Ref 166.020 - Circa 1960
Sold
Lauched in 1948 to coincide with the brand’s 100th Anniversary, the OMEGA Seamaster is the collection’s oldest line. The Seamaster is based on water-resistant wristwatches made for the British Army at the end of WWII. The history of the Seamaster De Ville begins in 1960. Early models at its release did not have the inscription “De Ville” on the dial. It was only in 1963 that the inscription appeared, and that until 1967. The main change of the “De Ville” was to offer a water-resistant and elegant monoblock case.
Speaking of elegance, did you know that it was a model worn by Don Draper in the series Mad Men? A great choice, obviously.
