The Omega Seamaster De Ville is one of the most elegant dress watches produced by Omega during the 1960s. Combining the established heritage of the Seamaster collection with the refined styling of the De Ville, these watches offered a more understated approach to luxury watchmaking.
This particular example dates to 1964 and is a beautiful example of the Omega Seamaster De Ville Ref. 136.020, presented in a solid 18K pink gold case.
The use of pink gold is particularly appealing. While many vintage Omega dress watches were produced in stainless steel or gold-plated configurations, solid gold examples offer an additional level of refinement. The warmth of the pink gold case works beautifully against the silver sunburst dial, creating a combination that is both understated and distinctive.
At 34mm, the case retains the elegant proportions associated with mid-century dress watches. Its slim profile, polished bezel and long, straight lugs give the watch a wonderfully balanced appearance on the wrist.
The original-style silver sunburst dial is a particular highlight, with its finely brushed finish catching the light beautifully. Applied gold baton hour markers and matching gold hands maintain the simplicity of the design, while the framed date aperture at 3 o'clock introduces a practical complication without disturbing the overall balance.
The dial is signed Omega beneath 12 o'clock, with the elegant Seamaster script and De Ville designation positioned above 6 o'clock.
Turning the watch over reveals another charming detail. The caseback features the traditional Omega Seamaster hippocampus medallion, a familiar symbol of the collection's history.
Powering the watch is the Omega manual wind Calibre 611, a dependable movement from an important period of Omega's watchmaking history. Its manual winding construction is particularly appropriate for a watch of this nature, providing a more traditional connection between the owner and the timepiece.
Presented on a brown leather strap, this is an exceptionally elegant vintage Omega that demonstrates just how attractive a simple, well-proportioned dress watch can be.

The Omega signatures remain clear and well presented, while the date aperture at 3 o'clock retains its attractive gold surround.
The caseback features the traditional Omega Seamaster hippocampus medallion, which remains clearly defined, alongside the light surface marks associated with age and careful use.

Overall, this is a very attractive example of a 1960s Omega dress watch, retaining the elegance, simplicity and period character that make these early Seamaster De Ville models so appealing.
Accessories / The Set
This watch is sold as watch only, which is typical for vintage timepieces. We place greater value on condition, originality and overall integrity than on whether a box or papers happen to be present.
Many vintage watches have lost their packaging over time, and we do not believe in inflating prices with non-original extras.
If a watch does include genuine box and papers, this will always be clearly noted in the description.
This example is presented on a brown leather strap, with alternative strap options available upon request.
All purchases are supplied with bespoke Watts On Watches packaging and full purchase documentation.
Why Buy This Watch
There is something particularly appealing about the simplicity of a vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville.
During the 1960s, Omega produced some wonderfully elegant dress watches, and the Seamaster De Ville collection represents an important part of that history. These watches were designed to offer refined styling, reliable mechanical movements and the sort of understated quality that remains attractive decades later.
What makes this particular example stand out is its solid 18K pink gold case.
The warmer tone of pink gold gives the watch a distinctive character, particularly when paired with the silver sunburst dial and applied gold details. It is a combination that feels luxurious without being excessive.
The 34mm case is beautifully proportioned, sitting comfortably beneath a shirt cuff while retaining enough presence to be appreciated on the wrist. The manual wind Omega Calibre 611 adds another element of traditional watchmaking appeal.
For someone looking for a classic vintage gold dress watch, this Seamaster De Ville offers an attractive alternative to more familiar models from the period.
It is an elegant, understated Omega that demonstrates why the brand's mid-century dress watches remain so enjoyable to collect and wear.
