Offered here is a stunning Omega Seamaster Pre-DeVille, dating to 1962—a pivotal year when Omega began transitioning the DeVille designation from a Seamaster subline into a standalone collection. This timepiece, with its pink/rose gold cap over stainless steel case, encapsulates the elegance and functionality that have defined Omega’s mid-century legacy.

This reference is part of the transitional period when Omega’s DeVille series emerged from the Seamaster lineup. The “Seamaster DeVille” designation, appearing on dials in 1962, marked the introduction of a more elegant, city-oriented design language, distinct from the tool-watch aesthetic of traditional Seamasters.

The Ref. 14910 / 166.020 is one of the last Seamaster models to bear this dual designation before the DeVille was officially spun off as a separate collection. This particular timepiece is notable for its rare pink/rose gold cap, a finish that exudes luxury and warmth, making it a standout among its peers.

This model gained renewed recognition as the watch worn by Daniel Craig, portraying Benoit Blanc in the movie "Knives Out." Craig’s character, a refined and discerning detective, embodies the timeless sophistication this Seamaster represents.
