Description
The Dial
The champagne dial of this De Ville Tank is a study in understated luxury. Its clean design, adorned with slender black stick markers and matching hands, ensures optimal legibility while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. The absence of a seconds hand further enhances its sleek, uninterrupted appearance, making this timepiece a true expression of elegance.
The Case
Encased in a 20mm gold-plated rectangular case, reference 511.0407 reflects the Art Deco influences that defined many of Omega’s dress watches of the era. The sharp, angular lines of the tank-style case provide a striking contrast to the softness of the champagne dial, resulting in a refined yet bold presence on the wrist. With its polished finish and well-proportioned dimensions, this case design remains effortlessly sophisticated.
The Movement
At the heart of this De Ville Tank is the Omega Caliber 485, a manually wound movement designed specifically for smaller ladies’ watches. Despite its compact size, the movement upholds Omega’s standards of precision and durability. Introduced in the early 1970s, the Cal. 485 remains a reliable and well-engineered mechanism, ensuring that this vintage timepiece is not only beautiful but also built to stand the test of time.
