The Seamaster De Ville featured a more refined design aimed to attract the golden youth of the sixties, especially on the American market. Apart from its refined design, the main characteristic introduced by the Seamaster de Ville was the presence of a ‘unishell’ case design that opens from the front, with a case made of only three parts (the main case, the crystal and the bezel) to enforce water resistance. The Seamaster de Ville was advertised as waterproof to 200 feet.

Price-wise, the Omega Seamaster de Ville was a bit more expensive than a regular Seamaster, sitting somewhere between the Seamaster and the Constellation in period catalogues.
