is a clean and timeless dress watch that perfectly captures the elegance of the mid-1960s. Originally part of the broader Seamaster line, the "De Ville" name was added as a nod to Omega’s move toward more refined, city-style dress pieces. And honestly, it shows. This reference blends minimalism with subtle charm—perfect for those who love vintage watches that don’t try too hard. Released around 1965, this model features a monocoque (one-piece) case, which means you can’t just pop open the back—Omega wanted to keep it as sleek and water-resistant as possible. The dial layout is clean: simple baton markers, thin stick hands, and a date window at 3 o’clock. It’s all about balance and proportion. Inside beats the automatic Omega Caliber 562, one of the most respected movements from Omega's golden era. It’s reliable, easy to service, and known for its smooth winding. The 166.020 is often cased in stainless steel, but there are also gold-cap and solid gold variants out there. On the wrist? Super classy, ultra-versatile, and lowkey vintage flex.
