Vintage Omega De Ville 18ct Gold Diamond Watch | c.1990

An exceptionally elegant vintage Omega De Ville ladies’ watch, crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold and beautifully framed by diamond-set sides.

Dating to circa 1990, this petite rectangular Omega has a wonderfully refined jewellery-watch feel. The glossy black dial provides a striking contrast against the yellow gold case, finished with applied gilt baton hour markers, slender gold hands and the Omega signature at 12.

The real feature, however, is the case. Rows of brilliant-cut diamonds run along both sides, with additional diamonds accenting each corner, giving the watch plenty of sparkle without overwhelming its beautifully slim proportions.

Inside is Omega’s jewelled quartz calibre 1350, with the case, dial and movement all signed Omega. The case is stamped 18K and carries French marks, with the original auction documentation also recording the case as testing at approximately 18ct gold.

Measuring approximately 19.5mm across, this is a beautifully petite watch designed to sit almost like a piece of fine jewellery on the wrist. It weighs approximately 21.9g gross and is paired with a black leather strap and Omega gold-plated buckle.

The watch has been fully serviced and is supplied with an Omega pouch.

A particularly beautiful vintage De Ville, combining solid 18ct gold, diamonds and a dramatic black dial in a design that feels every bit as much fine jewellery as it does a watch.
