The Seamaster De Ville was first introduced in 1963. Omega had introduced the De Ville line in 1960 that descended from the Seamaster line. It combined the monocoque case design from the Seamaster with the slim profile and refined aesthetics of a classic dress watch. This combination of greater water resistance and elegant looks turned out the be a great success. But it was Norman Morris, Omega’s general agent in the US, that requested to actually put both the Seamaster and the De Ville name on the dial. Up until then, it only mentioned Seamaster on the dial. Morris really liked the combination of the Seamaster’s functionality and the elegance of the De Ville design. And by combining the words, it would simply tell the story at a glance.
