BRAND

腕時計が普及し始めた1910年代から手巻き、自動巻と変遷を経て、クオーツ時計の開発によって機械式時計が衰退します。それ以前の1960年代に機械式腕時計はひとつのピークに達します。当時は日本でも三種の神器の一つだったオメガの時計。持つ人のステータスとなる高級品で、各メーカーが精度や防水性、耐久性など切磋琢磨し開発した時代。コストをかけて、より良い時計造りのためにしのぎを削っていました。

COMMENT

The OMEGA De Ville Ref. 155.006 is an automatic model that embodies the distinctive styling of the 1970s, pairing an elongated rectangular case with a silver dial. While the case is defined by clean, straight lines, gentle curves along the caseback and lugs allow it to sit comfortably on the wrist. The dial features Roman numeral indexes and a simple two-hand layout, creating the understated elegance expected of a classic dress watch. Powering the watch is the automatic Cal. 684.

The watch displays honest vintage wear consistent with its age. The case and crystal show some minor dents and surface marks, yet the characteristic rectangular profile remains well preserved, with the dimensionality of the bezel and case sides still clearly visible. The dial exhibits a few light scratches, though nothing that significantly detracts from its overall appearance. Fully serviced by our watchmaker.

The Ref. 155.006 combines the elegance expected of an Omega dress watch with the distinctive character of a vintage rectangular case. Its elongated silhouette offers a refreshing alternative to traditional round watches, while the clean silver dial keeps the overall appearance versatile and easy to wear. For those seeking a classic Omega with a touch of individuality, this model offers a compelling balance of refinement and character.

From the early days of wristwatch adoption in the 1910s through the golden age of mechanical watchmaking in the 1960s, OMEGA established itself as one of the world's most respected manufacturers. Before the arrival of quartz technology transformed the industry, the 1960s represented a peak period for mechanical watch development, with brands competing to achieve ever-higher standards of precision, durability, and water resistance. In Japan, Omega was regarded as one of the coveted “Three Sacred Treasures” of modern life, a symbol of success and aspiration. This era of innovation and craftsmanship continues to define the enduring appeal of vintage Omega timepieces today.
