Omega De Ville Chenonceau 395.0840

The Omega De Ville Chenonceau is not named by chance: named after the famous French Loire castle, it embodies the same architectural elegance and symmetry that characterize the Renaissance building. In the 1980s, it was Omega's response to the zeitgeist of integrated luxury watches – a piece that deliberately blurred the line between jewelry and timepiece, whose geometric design language feels more current than ever today.

The rectangular, gold-plated case frames a flawless white dial with a fine sunburst finish, on which golden baton indices and slender gold-plated leaf hands indicate the time. The Omega logo and the cursive "De Ville" lettering are the only inscriptions – together with the discreet "SWISS MADE" at the bottom edge, creating a minimalist composition reminiscent of the best dress watches of the era. No date, no complications disturb the calm elegance of the dial.

The integrated steel/gold bracelet is the real design statement: wide, brushed stainless steel links alternate with polished gold accents, forming a geometric pattern that seamlessly transitions into the case. The folding clasp with the golden Omega logo fits harmoniously into the overall look. The bracelet sits flat on the wrist and gives the piece the appearance of a luxurious bracelet that also tells the time. The case back bears the "De Ville Quartz" engraving with the stylized De Ville emblem.

This example is in good vintage condition. The dial is clean and free of damage. The case shows slight signs of wear on the gold-plated edges. The steel/gold bracelet shows typical hairline scratches on the steel links; the gold accents are intact. The glass shows slight superficial scratches. Please note: The integrated bracelet fits a wrist circumference of approx. 16.5–17 cm. A timeless piece from the golden age of the integrated luxury watch – perfect for anyone who wants to combine understatement with design ambition.
