Omega Seamaster De Ville

This elegant vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville (reference 166.020) is a quintessential mid-1960s dress watch, blending timeless sophistication with reliable Swiss craftsmanship. Produced around 1965–1967, this automatic timepiece captures the refined style of the era when the Seamaster De Ville line was at its peak before fully transitioning to the standalone De Ville collection.

The watch features a classic 34mm gold-capped case (with solid gold bezel elements for a luxurious touch), offering a slim, comfortable profile that's highly wearable on modern wrists. The standout dark blue-grey linen-textured dial is a rare and beautiful variant— its subtle textured finish (often described as linen or slate) catches the light with depth and character, while applied gold baton indices, elegant gold dauphine hands, and a framed date window at 3 o'clock complete the clean, dressy aesthetic. The dial script reads "Seamaster DE VILLE" in graceful lettering, with "AUTOMATIC" above and "SWISS MADE" below.

Powered by the renowned Omega Caliber 565 automatic movement: a 24-jewel workhorse known for its accuracy and durability — this example has been professionally serviced and is running perfectly, keeping excellent time with smooth sweeping seconds.

The caseback proudly displays the iconic Seamaster seahorse emblem encircled by "SEAMASTER WATERPROOF", confirming its heritage. It comes fitted with a supple dark blue leather strap (easily swappable for your preference), complementing the gold tones beautifully.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition overall — the case shows light, honest wear consistent with its age, the dial remains crisp with no major flaws, and the crystal is clear. A true collector's piece or everyday elegant wearer.
