Description:

The Omega De Ville Tank (Ref. 191.0075) from 1982 is an exceptionally refined expression of 1980s minimalism and Omega’s elegant design language. With its slim rectangular case, vertically brushed champagne dial, and all-gold aesthetic, this De Ville captures the understated luxury of its time.

Crafted with a fully integrated gold-tone bracelet and a remarkably thin 4.8 mm profile, this piece radiates sophistication while maintaining incredible wrist comfort.

Inside, it houses Omega’s ultra-slim and reliable Caliber 1377 quartz movement, offering precision timekeeping and a near-effortless wearing experience.

Historical Significance:

The Omega De Ville line was born in the late 1960s as Omega’s most refined and stylistically distinct collection, emphasizing elegance and urban sophistication over sporty functionality. By the early 1980s, the De Ville had fully embraced minimalist luxury, represented perfectly by this tank-style design.

Its Caliber 1377 quartz movement was among Omega’s thinnest and most accurate of the era, allowing for a case thickness of under 5 mm — a remarkable engineering feat. This model epitomizes the balance between form and function that defined Omega’s dress watches during the quartz revolution.
