Omega
De Ville ladies' rectangular, gold
This vintage Omega Ladies "Tank" style wristwatch from the late 1960s captures classic mid-century elegance with its distinctive rectangular silhouette. The watch features a striking vibrant yellow/champagne dial accented by minimalist black baton hour markers and delicate matching hands, all housed in a 20-micron yellow gold-plated case. Powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement—typically the reliable Omega Calibre 484 or 485—this dress timepiece combines traditional Swiss craftsmanship with a sleek geometric aesthetic, neatly paired with a contrasting black textured leather strap.

Catalogue note
This elegant lady's dress wristwatch is a refined example of Omega’s mid-century geometric design, heavily influenced by the enduring "Tank" aesthetic that gained renewed popularity during the 1960s. Embodying the minimalist sophistication of the era, the present lot features an uncommon, vibrant yellow dial that provides a striking contrast against the understated black baton indices and a classically proportioned gold-plated case. Driven by the compact, hand-wound Calibre 484/485 movement a testament to Omega’s historic mastery of miniaturized mechanical calibres—this piece perfectly bridges the utility of traditional Swiss horology with the stylistic flair of fine cocktail jewelry, making it a quintessential acquisition for collectors of period-specific feminine design.
