Omega De Ville – Ref. 166.0181 | 1968 | Caliber 1012

Available at OmniWatch & Co, this elegant Omega De Ville 166.0181 from 1968, reference 166.0181, is a timeless example of Swiss dress watch design at its finest. Known for its refined styling, the De Ville line emerged as a standalone collection in the 1960s, offering sleek and sophisticated models like this one.

This piece features a crisp white dial with applied baton hour markers and polished hands, capturing the minimalist elegance of the era. Housed in a 35mm stainless steel case, the proportions are ideal for both daily wear and formal occasions, delivering vintage charm without sacrificing wrist presence.

Protecting the dial is an original Omega plexiglass crystal, preserving the watch’s authentic character. The watch is paired with an Omega “Grain de Riz” bracelet, reference 1037, one of the most comfortable and iconic bracelet designs in vintage Omega history. Its fluid, multi-link structure provides exceptional comfort and vintage flair.

At the heart of this timepiece beats the Omega Caliber 1012, a robust and reliable automatic movement. Introduced in the late 1960s, the 1012 is known for its durability and precision, making it a favorite among collectors and watchmakers alike.
