Originally introduced in 2007, the OMEGA De Ville Hour Vision boldly displays a complex level of workmanship from the finely honed details on the sophisticated dial to the mechanics within. This model features a silver dial with a striking grooved rhodium-plated hour track, and month and date windows at the 3 o’clock position.
A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects this impressive dial. The bezel is mounted on a 41 mm stainless steel case and is presented on a stainless steel bracelet.
At the heart of this exquisite timepiece is the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 8601, visible through the transparent caseback.
Annual calendar
Watch which automatically recognizes months with 30 and 31 days and needs to be manually corrected only once a year, on the first of March.
Chronometer
Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body (COSC).
Transparent caseback
A transparent caseback - frequently made of sapphire - makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.

Case Measurements
1. Between lugs
This measures the space where a strap or bracelet would be placed.
2. Lug-to-lug
This is the full length of the case, from the top lugs to the bottom lugs.
3. Case diameter
This is the full width of the watch’s case, excluding the crown and pushers.
4. Thickness
When viewed from the side, this measures from the base of the watch to the surface of the glass.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is certainly the most conventional of watchmaking materials for outer craftsmanship, and offers beauty, strength and affordability. OMEGA uses 316L stainless steel. Known for its corrosion-resistance and high lustre after polishing, this material is often the ideal choice for watches in both daily-use and high-stress situations such as diving and adventure.
2 / 2
Sapphire Crystal
To really appreciate the finer details of a timepiece, OMEGA uses synthetic sapphire crystal with a highly scratch-resistant and anti-reflective treatment. Before the machining and finishing processes take place, the sapphire crystals are produced under the Verneuil process, also called flame fusion. It involves the melting of the raw substance using oxyhydrogen flame and the crystallisation of the melted droplets to form a cylinder. Graded 9 on the Mohs-hardness scale (graded 1-10), the resulting sapphire crystals are virtually scratch-proof and very hard, ensuring an unhindered vision at all times.

A new look for your watch
Your watch and strap should go together perfectly, but that doesn't mean you can't experiment with different combinations. Why not mix things up and see what happens? You may discover a look that's as individual as you are.

The advantages of this watch
The advantages of this watch
At the heart of this timepiece is the Co-Axial escapement, a revolution in watchmaking when first introduced. The reduced stress on the moving parts means less need for lubrication, longer-lasting accuracy and a more stable power reserve rate. In short, this timepiece performs better for longer.
Superior Precision
Our Co-Axial movements benefit from the revolutionary Co-Axial escapement within their design. With less friction created, they are able to maintain accuracy over a longer period of time, as well as a more stable power reserve rate. Each movement is Chronometer-certified according to international standard ISO3159, requiring a precision of -4/+6 second per day, following the tests at the Official Swiss Chronometer Control (COSC).
Water-Resistance
To ensure the integrity of our timepieces at depth, not just some but all watches are fully immersed in water and pressure is applied up to the point of the guaranteed water resistance. By submerging each watch in water we have chosen – yet again - to exceed normal testing standards.
5-Year Warranty
In our quest to raise industry standards and push the boundaries of quality, all OMEGA watches are offered with a full 5-year warranty. This customer promise shows the confidence we have in the excellence of our timepieces, and provides extra trust and assurance when choosing your watch.
Less servicing
Expect fewer visits to the service centre. The Co-Axial escapement is designed to reduce friction inside the movement. As a result, less lubrication is needed and hence less servicing. Compared to non-Co-Axial watches, the intervals between getting your watch serviced will be much longer.
Shock-resistance
During the homologation process, OMEGA watches are tested to the extreme. This phase includes shock examinations, to confirm reliability and to check that its precision is maintained after a severe impact. All OMEGA timepieces are designed to withstand shocks corresponding to a 1-metre drop on a hard wooden floor. For a standard 150g timepiece, this sudden and rapid acceleration is an equivalent force of up to 5,000 G on the watch head.
