Let’s hear it for the Cinderella of the Omega line up. Base 2892 movements, limited waterproofing , few complications (usually) and only a little love. Post your pics!

Apart from antoniscy who flagged up the 25th anniversary model on another thread looks like it remains the Cinderella as no one is posting pics of their de villes!

My partner wears this 141 009 (1967) De Ville daily . It was serviced by Lewis WatchCo a few years ago and the 320 movement keeps amazing time.

Ah -mid/ large for a ladies watch
She loves it , just measured it 35 mm.
Here's the movement , very closely related to the 321 movement.

De Ville seems to be a sub-brand that moves up or down the scale depending on how Bienne is feeling that decade. Although it doesn't quite fit your parameters, it's a bit soon to post mine under "vintage", so here's my trusty pre-Covid office EDC from 2004. Ref. 4654.20.32 (I think) in 18kt RG with Cal 2500 movement, and the fairly uncommon exhibition back.

For a while there I was looking at the manual wind from the 1990s with the Peseux (I think that is how you spell it) movement. I always thought it was really classy.

Do the tresors keep good time? I always wondered.
