Competent, a little anonymous
By Sam Okafor, London ·
Look at a De Ville Prestige from three feet away and you couldn't say with certainty whose it is. That's a criticism, though not a damning one. Its white dial, slim batons, date window and thin bezel are well made and properly sized for the 39.5 mm case, and there's nothing wrong with any of it.
10.3 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, sapphire, closed back, 30 m. The co-axial movement gives a 48-hour reserve, which is solid. 3,600 to 4,300 dollars is not far from what a Nomos Tangente with a date costs, and the Nomos has far more personality. Buy this if you'd like an Omega and don't want a Speedmaster. I'd buy something stranger.
