The "Omega DeVille" that arrived today features the series' most simple and basic round case.
These watches, which can truly be called essential and fundamental, have arrived as a pair.
Both are simple and basic hand-wound, two-hand watches.
They are easy to operate for those getting their first watch,
and perfect for learning the basics of mechanical watches.
The men's size was manufactured in 1975,
and while there are some minor detail differences, it's a classic DeVille design.
It is equipped with a hand-wound Cal.625 movement, ensuring ease of operation and
peace of mind for maintenance due to the abundance of available parts.
If you thoroughly pursue the essence of a watch without any unnecessary elements,
you might think this design is the closest to perfection.
While there are various dial designs,
bar indexes, which allow anyone in the world to read the time,
truly shine in such simple watches.
The watch size, with a case diameter of 32mm, is just right—not too big, not too small.
It fits comfortably on the wrist without being a hindrance,
and the watch size allows it to neatly tuck under a shirt cuff.
My own wrist circumference is 16.5cm, so
someone with a wrist circumference between 15cm and 18cm could wear it without discomfort,
and it's designed to make the watch look its most beautiful.
The ladies' model, on the other hand, is from 1979,
around the time DeVille's hand-wound models transitioned to quartz.
Like the men's model, it's a simple and basic hand-wound watch,
and even for modern women who might be less familiar with hand-wound watches,
it's an item that can be operated easily without any hesitation.
Many of our customers are getting their first hand-wound watch,
and Omega's hand-wound watches are used with confidence by everyone,
so I highly recommend this one for first-time owners.
The watch size is slightly larger, which is particularly popular with women.
A case diameter of 25mm was considered large for women's watches at the time,
but it's now considered rather small.
However, for women, if the case diameter exceeds 28mm, it can feel heavy,
and the watch might become a bit difficult to wear, so
if you want to feel the presence of the watch and maintain its design,
this size is absolutely exquisite.
And it's not often that we receive a pair like this,
both arriving as new old stock with the protective sticker still on the case back.
While some age-related damage can be seen,
they haven't been used daily, and their condition is extremely good.
Even with vintage watches of the same design,
no two are in exactly the same condition.
It's natural that those in better condition are harder to acquire.
These two pieces are not only in excellent condition but also represent basic watches that everyone should own.
A watch doesn't have to be excessively luxurious,
but as a matter of adult etiquette, not owning one is not an option.
No matter how much times change, the fundamentals of "dressing up" remain constant,
so isn't the existence of a wristwatch universal?
The minimum you should own turns out to be the best choice.
These watches convey that message.
