1969 Omega De Ville Automatic Linen Dial 162.047 "TV" 36.5mm
Here we have a 1969 Omega De Ville "TV Case," a striking piece of late-60s design that perfectly captures the shift toward the bold, geometric aesthetics of the coming decade. Its 36.5mm stainless steel case features a distinctive square "television" silhouette with a brushed sunburst finish on the flat bezel and polished chamfers along the edges. With a remarkably slim profile of just 9mm and a lug-to-lug length of 36.5mm, the watch offers a balanced, integrated presence that wears larger than its dimensions suggest. On the right side is a signed Omega crown. A flat crystal protects a beautiful silver "linen" textured dial, which adds a sophisticated, fabric-like depth to the watch's face. The dial is appointed with applied steel Roman numbers and black markers, plus matching hands, providing excellent contrast and a sharp, monochromatic look. A discrete date window is positioned at 3 o'clock, framed to match the dial's refined aesthetic. On the reverse, a screw-down case back protects the movement within. Inside, the automatic Omega Calibre 1002 beats at a high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and features 20 jewels. This movement was part of Omega's push toward thinner, more accurate calibres in the late 1960s and includes both a quick-set date function and hacking seconds for precise time setting. It comes paired with a 19mm leather strap and a pin buckle.
