Omega De Ville Trésor: Specs, References, Prices | Ultimate Watch

The Omega De Ville Trésor is Omega's purest dress watch, a thin, clean, three-hand piece that trades sport-watch heft for a wrist presence you feel more than you see. The name Trésor, French for treasure, first appeared in 1949, when Omega used it for a slim gold gentleman's watch built around the hand-wound Calibre 30, the movement collectors still call one of the finest Omega ever made. Omega brought the name back in 2014 as a modern collection, and it now runs from 36mm ladies pieces to the 40mm steel and gold men's models that most collectors mean when they say De Ville Trésor. This is a watch that lives under a shirt cuff, not over a wetsuit. We buy and sell De Ville Trésor references every month at our counter on 47th Street, and we like it for a specific reason: it is one of the few genuine luxury dress watches you can own with a modern Master Chronometer or Master Co-Axial movement inside, and it still trades below Omega retail on the secondary market. That combination, real horology and a soft entry price, is rare, and it is exactly why a first-time buyer and a seasoned collector can both end up wanting the same reference.
