**De Ville Hour Vision** is a wristwatch by [[Omega]].

Series of elegant men's watches, brought to market [[2007]], and equipped with the high quality [[manufacture]] movements [[Omega 8500]] / [[Omega 8501]], presented the same year. They feature the [[co-axial escapement]] invented by [[George Daniels]] and are certified as [[chronometer]] by the [[COSC]]. Through two [[barrel]]s in series the movements attain a remarkably high power reserve of 60 hours. Watch magazine [[Chronos]] (1/2007) //"In the test the new movement convinced with excellent rate results and a stable amplitude."//

The most striking feature of all models is the with [[rhodinated|rhodium]] coated hour trail, which is complemented by [[faceted]] golden hour numerals. The date window at 3 o'clock is framed by a diamond-polished 18ct white or red gold insert.

The caseback with [[sapphire crystal]] offers a look at the elaborate [[finishing]], where the [[rhodinated]] and blackened screws with delicate azuré surface engraving ensure a futuristic look. Another special feature are the four [[sapphire crystal]] windows, by which at the sides of the case, a view of the inside of the watch is enabled. A complete sapphire housing is placed into the steel or rose gold case, so that the watch is still [[waterproof]] up to 10 atm and up to 5000 G shockproof. Thus, the term "Hour Vision" for the models of this series is justified in an unusual way.

During the year [[2008]] a limited edition (160 pieces) of eight models with [[annual calendar]] was launched, equipped with the [[manufacture]] movement [[Omega 8611]], see [[Omega De Ville Hour Vision Annual Calendar|De Ville Hour Vision Annual Calendar]]. Also a series of [[chronograph]]s is planned.
