Omega De Ville Ellipse

Omega De Ville Ellipse

Did you know that the Omega De Ville line was once launched as an elegant extension of the Seamaster collection and quickly became the epitome of timeless sophistication? As early as the 1960s, Omega demonstrated its claim to combine aesthetic purism with outstanding watchmaking craftsmanship with this line. The De Ville Ellipse builds on this and reminds us that true beauty does not need fast trends, but is characterised by consistency and understatement.

The Omega De Ville Ellipse presented here, reference 111.0128, embodies this tradition in an impressive way. Its oval, 37 x 29 mm case made of silver-gold-plated material makes a striking statement on the wrist without ever appearing obtrusive. The deep black dial without indices has an almost meditative effect in its clarity and emphasises the minimalist aesthetic. The gold hands seem to be in conversation with the gold plating of the case, so harmoniously do they blend into the overall design.

Inside the watch beats the Omega calibre 625, a precise hand-wound movement that benefits from the brand's decades of experience. Few sensations are as unmistakable as the daily winding of a mechanical watch - it immediately connects you with the tradition and care that goes into every spring and gearwheel. Added to this is the original black leather strap with crocodile embossing and Omega clasp, which not only offers perfect wearing comfort but is also a coveted detail for collectors.

In a world where trends change by the second, this De Ville Ellipse is characterised by its consistent simplicity and timeless elegance. Small traces of use on the gold plating bear witness to the stories it has already lived through - and make its vintage character truly authentic. It reminds us that true classics do not need to make a loud entrance, but instead impress with their understated beauty and reliable mechanics.
