Description
The dial, a captivating gradient of blue and grey, creates an elegant backdrop for the slender, minimalist hands and applied hour markers. This subtle play of color enhances legibility while providing a modern touch to an otherwise classic design. Beneath this luxurious façade beats the Caliber 485, a hand-wound mechanical movement celebrated for its reliability and precision. A slim and efficient movement, the Caliber 485 keeps the watch sleek on the wrist, ensuring comfort without sacrificing performance.
Introduced during an era when Omega was experimenting with both bold designs and cutting-edge technology, the De Ville 8238 stands out as a rare gem. It bridges the gap between fine jewelry and horology, making it a coveted piece for collectors who appreciate the harmonious blend of form and function. The De Ville collection itself, born from Omega’s desire to create dress watches of exceptional elegance, finds one of its finest expressions in this model. With its rare use of white gold and diamond accents, the 8238 captures the spirit of late 1960s luxury while remaining effortlessly wearable in today’s world.
