2500 calibre is based on Eta 2892 this is why it is very thin calibre. All METAS calibres - 8500, 8800, 8900 are much thicker.
De Ville looks like a dress watch, as such should be a thin watch..
That's the only reason which comes into my mind.

Pardon the n00b question, but has the upgrades to the 2500 included integration, or is it still modular?
The 8800 is 4.6 mm thick, where the 2500 is 4.1 mm, so not a massive difference.
Interesting that when I look this new watch up on the Omega Extranet, it doesn't show the specific movement listed - it just says 2500. This is odd, because normally they show the latest variant of the movement used, which is a 2500D...or that WAS the latest movement until I saw an updated 2500 tech guide today, where the 2500E was added...😲
Although not a METAS movement, the 2500E has had a silicon balance spring added, so should be far less susceptible to magnetism than the other 2500 calibers are, and will also have better accuracy I would imagine, although I have not seen specs for that just yet. So although I thought the 2500 movement was not really being updated anymore, it appears it's still being modernized...

No idea what this means...
