The case backs of this new model are not transparent as they would be today but rather solid, brushed, and embossed with a likeness of Chronos, the god of time, alongside the words “De Ville” and “50th Anniversary.”

The front of these De Ville models is dominated by an enamel dial proudly emblazoned with nostalgically classic black numerals –except for the “12,” which is red to denote enamel as the dial material – and a classic railroad track for the minutes. The color of the 18-karat gold hands match that of the 18-karat gold case material.
This watch, which sports a three-year guarantee, is powered by automatic Omega co-axial Caliber 2500. This movement was chosen not only because all mechanical Omega wristwatches are now powered by co-axial movements; this is also a nod to the fact that it was the De Ville that first housed a co-axial movement back in 1999.
