Meet the OMEGA De Ville Quartz (ref. 196.0316) — a sleek two-tone dress piece that does “quiet luxury” without trying too hard.
The slim steel case is framed by a warm gold-tone bezel, setting off a crisp white dial with applied baton markers and Roman numerals at XII/III/IX. A clean date window sits at 6 o’clock for perfect symmetry, and the pencil-style hands keep the look elegant and uncluttered. It’s all very De Ville: refined, timeless, and ridiculously easy to wear.
Flip it over and you’ll find the classic De Ville medallion caseback. Inside, a dependable Swiss quartz movement keeps you spot-on time with zero drama — set it, forget it, enjoy it. Finished with a black leather strap and gold-tone Omega buckle, this one slides under any cuff and instantly smartens up everything from a tee to a blazer.
Whether you’re after a first Swiss dress watch or a slim daily with vintage charm, this De Ville brings that 90s Omega finesse in a fuss-free package.
