Vintage Omega De Ville Swiss Watch, Rope Bezel, Gilt Breguet Numerals from 1980's

This vintage Omega De Ville from the 1980s stands out for its unusual dial color and refined case details. The soft mocha-toned dial has a warm, muted look that closely matches Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025. It gives the watch a modern feel while staying true to its vintage roots. Gold markers and gilt Breguet numerals add contrast and character - a look more commonly seen on black dials rather than lighter tones like this one. .

The square 30.5mm × 30.5mm case wears slim and elegant on the wrist, helped by its modest 5mm thickness. One of the key design features is the rope-edge bezel, a detail that was very much in fashion during the 1980s. This twisted bezel style became popular enough that even Audemars Piguet introduced it in their Cord collection in 1983. On this Omega, the rope detailing remains crisp and well-defined.

Inside is the Omega Quartz Caliber 1365, a slim and dependable movement typical of the period. The watch is fitted with a gold-tone mesh bracelet that complements the warm tones of the case and dial, completing a clean and cohesive look.
