Omega De ville chronograph ref. 146.017

A refined and distinctive example of Omega’s early De Ville collection, the Ref. 146.017 combines the elegant character of the De Ville line with the functionality of a mechanical chronograph.
During the 1960s, the De Ville collection became known for its clean and sophisticated designs, offering a more refined alternative within Omega’s catalogue. The 146.017 is particularly interesting for collectors because it adds a chronograph complication to this otherwise elegant dress-watch style.

The stainless-steel case has a balanced 1960s profile, while the dial combines a restrained vintage appearance with clearly defined chronograph details. The result is a watch that feels both elegant and distinctly sporty without losing the understated character associated with the De Ville name.

Powered by a manual-winding Omega chronograph movement, the watch offers the charm of traditional mechanical watchmaking together with practical timing functionality.

An uncommon and characterful vintage Omega, the Ref. 146.017 is a great example of how Omega combined elegant design with genuine chronograph functionality during the 1960s.
