**De Ville** is the name of a wristwatch series by [[Omega]].

The term //De Ville// was launched for the first time by [[Omega]] in October [[1960]], when new models of the series //[[Omega Seamaster|Seamaster]]// were presented; from [[1963]] on the inscription "Seamaster De Ville" appeared on the dials.

Basically the name, since the 1960s, identified the simple and yet elegant models of Omega, in contrast to the sporty lines [[Omega Seamaster|Seamaster]] or [[Omega Speedmaster|Speedmaster]]. So soon also the certification as [[chronometer]] was included as one of the characteristics of the series.

A special step was taken [[1999]], when [[Omega]] chose a new //De Ville// model for the initial presentation of the innovative [[co-axial escapement]].

To emphasize the reliability of the new technology, [[Omega]] granted to garantee for all //De Ville// models with [[co-axial escapement]] a warranty of three instead of two years.
