The Omega De Ville Prestige 40 mm Black-Gold Dial serves as a cornerstone in Omega’s lineup, offering a timeless design and versatility, the ideal dress watch. It balances classic aesthetics with modern functionality, making it suitable for daily wear or special occasions. And it is already the third generation of this Omega’s De Ville collection.

Since its debut in 1994, the De Ville Prestige collection has symbolized Omega’s commitment to timeless elegance. Known for its clean lines and understated sophistication, the collection has become a favorite among enthusiasts. Now in its third iteration, it incorporates subtle updates while maintaining its heritage.

40-millimeter Diameter and PVD Black Dial

This De Ville Prestige 40 mm model features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 40 millimeters. It has a slim profile, with a thickness of only 9.9 millimeters, which makes sense for a dress watch. The domed PVD black dial under the domed sapphire has a sun-brushed finish that adds depth and a cool contrast.

The black dial spices up with PVD Sedna Gold hands and alternating Roman numerals and cabochon indexes. All enhancing readability and elegance. On the outer zone of the dial is a white railway minute track and a date window positioned at 6 o’clock. Nothing can go wrong here.

Omega’s Caliber 8800

At the heart of this model lies the Omega caliber 8800, a self-winding movement with a co-axial escapement for enhanced precision and durability. It boasts a power reserve of 55 hours and has a rhodium-plated finish and Geneva waves in arabesque. All provide an aesthetically pleasing view through the sapphire crystal case back. And like almost all Omega movements it is a Master Chronometer, certified by METAS. Not only for its resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss but also for its accuracy and quality.

This De Ville Prestige 40 mm is available with a seven-link stainless steel bracelet or a black alligator leather strap. The stainless steel bracelet features a butterfly clasp for a secure fit, while the leather strap includes a pin buckle for easy adjustment. The price difference is only 300.

Price of the Omega De Ville Prestige 40 mm Black-Gold Black-Gold Dial

The stainless steel model is priced at $ 4,900, € 5,400, or £ 4,600, while the leather strap version costs $ 4,600, € 5,100, or £ 4,300. Competing models with comparable features include three-handers from the Carl F. Bucherer Manero Peripheral 40 mm collection. Although these have a more serious price tag, around 7 to 8k. Not METAS certified but it is COSC certified.

Another alternative can be the models from the Longines Master Collection. Less expensive with a price under 2k, but it lacks the advanced anti-magnetic properties of the caliber 8800. More alternatives are the Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date 39 mm in the 2.5k price range and the Dubois et Fils DBF008 series with a price of around 6 to 7k. None of them has a META or COSC certification, but they are all available with the same classic appeal.
