Omega DeVille Tresor - Most Elegant Omega in Decades?

Since I'm a little perplexed why this incredible beauty isn't getting the attention it deserves, I'm just going to leave these here...















This HAS to be the most elegant watch Omega has produced in decades. Just sheer perfection. Nailed the size, nailed the dial, nailed the thickness, and nailed the beautiful movement.

Great offering from Omega. Classic styling and killer movement with impressive finish i might add.

Certainly worth picking up for an Omega fan who wants the perfect dress watch.

Not a fan of the Omega brand, but that is hands down the best watch they have made since the speedmaster professional

So much right with that watch. Only potential issue is it's going to cost in excess of US $11,500 in either white or rose gold.

IMHO there are too many Omegas creeping over the US $10k mark these days...

It's expensive, but I do think you get a lot of watch for the money. I just wish that the movement was more visible and not so covered up.

Reminds me of the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5107....and that isn't a bad thing for half the price!

Thanks for sharing.

I want it, the price is not that bad all things considered.

They designed a great looking watch.

It is a stunner.

It's also nice to see a coaxial in a case less than 14 mm thick!

I like to give credit where credit is due...

No marketing gimmicks...

No "special editions"...

Nothing about a "revolutionary new movement"...

Just one hell of a beautiful watch. I might be going a little far with this, and of course I would have to see it in person first, but I wouldn't hesitate to put this up against a JLC MUT... I like it that much.

It's a fantastic dress watch. I love it. Both Omega and Rolex released some dress watch stunners this year.

It really is a beautiful watch and I hope that Omega keeps moving in this direction with the De Ville line (and in general). There isn't one thing that I don't like about the design. Hopefully, they will introduce a stainless version down the road.

That's a look that keeps me on the bay looking at vintage Omegas. My Tissot vintage adventure wasn't a total washout and didn't break the bank, so I working up my courage to go that route for a nice Omega.

If that watch is available in SS and is 38mm or less, it could be an alternative to vintage.

Well, I'm out of the game already.

It's 40mm and manually wound, is available only in gold, and is downright beautiful.

Still think the new Cellinis are stronger. Not a bad effort,
Then again IMO devilles are widely under appreciated.
