A True New Old Stock Time Capsule
This Omega De Ville Automatic ref. 161.021 from 1972 is offered in genuine New Old Stock (NOS) condition — an increasingly rare find in today’s vintage market.
Not only is this reference itself uncommon, but discovering an example preserved in such impeccable condition after more than five decades makes it particularly desirable for serious collectors.
The white dial, beautifully clean and perfectly preserved, reflects the refined minimalism that defined Omega dress watches of the early 1970s.
Spectacular Case Design – Pure 1970s Geometry
One of the defining features of this model is its distinctive case architecture.
Crafted in stainless steel, the case measures 28.6 mm x 28.6 mm (excluding the crown). Its square proportions and sharp lines create a bold yet elegant wrist presence, embodying the geometric design language of the 1970s.
Despite its compact dimensions, the watch wears with remarkable character and sophistication.
A particularly rare detail is the cabochon-set crown, an unusual feature for De Ville models and highly appreciated from a collector’s perspective.
Original Omega-Signed Crystal
The watch retains its original Omega-signed crystal, an important authenticity detail that significantly enhances its collectability and value.
The overall preservation is outstanding, consistent with a true NOS piece that has remained carefully stored over the decades.
Omega Caliber 711 – Slim and Reliable Automatic Movement
Powering the watch is the respected Omega caliber 711, a slim automatic in-house movement known for its reliability and suitability for elegant dress watches.
The movement has been professionally serviced, ensuring accurate timekeeping and dependable performance.
