Omega De Ville Ref. 191.0106 - Cal. 1365 (1982, Ultra-Thin Sapphire Front)
In the early 1980s, Omega combined the advantages of quartz technology with aesthetic elegance to create the "ultra-slim" De Ville series. The Ref. 191.0106 is one of the most elegant and minimalist examples of this period: a design with simple, sharp, and perfectly symmetrical lines.
The most striking aspect of this model is its case, which is only 5 mm thick. This size, considered exceptionally advanced for 1982, was made possible by Omega's use of the then-new-generation Caliber 1365 quartz movement. This movement stands out not only for its thinness but also for its excellent timekeeping precision.
The sapphire crystal that encases the entire face of the watch reflects light with a deep, crystal-clear clarity. The two-layered dial structure, intertwined in black and gray tones—with a matte gray center on the inside and Roman numeral indices on the glossy black outer ring—offers a look that's both classic and contemporary. The "De Ville Quartz" inscription on the dial embodies the series' urban elegance, while the silver-toned hands perfectly complement the minimalist form.
Another distinctive feature of this model is the absence of a crown. Instead, a micro-button located on the side, which presses inward, allows you to set the time. This design maintains the case's slimness while maintaining functionality without compromising its integrity.

Review
This reference is one of the De Ville models that most clearly reflects Omega's philosophy of "perfection in refinement."
The elegant 5 mm profile, the crystalline brilliance of the sapphire crystal, and the harmony of the classic Roman numerals on the dial make the watch suitable for unisex wear while also bringing the urban style of the 1980s to the present day.
This model, which pushes the aesthetic boundaries of minimalism, is often the symbol of the "less is more" line in collections – simple yet admirably refined.
