Omega De Ville Chronograph Caliber 861 – Ref. 145.018 – 1968

A refined chronograph born during a transformative era for Omega, this 1968 De Ville Chronograph is an exceptional representation of the brand’s evolution toward more elegant yet mechanically capable timepieces. Originally part of the Seamaster family, the De Ville line branched out in 1967, embracing a more sartorial aesthetic while retaining the precision engineering that defined Omega’s chronographs. This Reference 145.018, powered by the revered Caliber 861, embodies that dual identity—marrying precision mechanics with a clean, sophisticated silhouette.

Key Features & Historical Context

Model: Omega De Ville Chronograph
Reference: 145.018
Year: 1968
Serial: 27326555 (confirming production year of 1968)

Case: 35mm stainless steel case in superb vintage condition. The case retains strong lines and correct proportions, offering an elegant wrist presence without compromise on vintage integrity.

Dial: Original silver Omega dial in excellent condition, untouched and beautifully preserved. Subtle sunburst finish and crisp black printing provide legibility and balance, while the understated chronograph registers lend a classic, mid-century aesthetic.

Crown: Original Omega-signed crown, consistent with factory specifications and perfectly matched to the reference.

Crystal: Plexiglass crystal, correct for the era, ensuring visual warmth and period authenticity.

Movement: Houses the manual-wind Omega Caliber 861, the legendary successor to the Caliber 321. Known for its robust construction and reliability, the 861 was used in several iconic Omega chronographs including the Speedmaster Moonwatch. Recently checked by a certified watchmaker and running within excellent parameters.

Strap & Accessories

Strap: Comes on a brand new leather strap, hand-crafted in Belgium. The supple leather and careful finishing add modern comfort while respecting the vintage character.

Box: Supplied with the original Omega red presentation box—a rare and highly collectible accessory that elevates the completeness of this example.

Condition Overview

This Omega De Ville Chronograph is presented in remarkable vintage condition. The case has been well-preserved, maintaining its original geometry and brushed surfaces. The dial remains untouched and clean, with all original printing crisp and intact. The Caliber 861 inside functions smoothly and is running strong, making this piece ready for both collection and casual wear.

Why This Watch Matters

Elegant De Ville Identity: As one of the first chronographs under the independent De Ville name, this watch bridges Omega’s dressier aspirations with its chronograph pedigree.

Original Components: Retaining its original dial, crown, and box, this example stands out as an honest and complete collector’s piece.

Caliber 861 Movement: A milestone in Omega’s movement evolution, prized for its durability and historic role in space exploration via the Speedmaster line.

Understated Collectibility: Less commonly seen than its Seamaster and Speedmaster counterparts, the De Ville Chronograph offers exceptional value and style for vintage collectors who appreciate Omega’s broader design legacy.

Final Thoughts

The Omega De Ville Chronograph Ref. 145.018 from 1968 is a study in timeless sophistication and horological substance. With its beautiful silver dial, storied Caliber 861 movement, and well-preserved original components—including the box—it offers both vintage charm and serious mechanical credibility. A perfect addition for collectors seeking a nuanced piece of Omega history that wears as gracefully as it tells time.

Puppy Crack!
Color: Pollen for You
Because its her only toy that crackels and the daisy (as in DaisyMae) flower moves up and down on the rope. DaisyMae loves it! Bee squeaks, flower dont, both do crinkle. But if you have a jaws of life puppy always going for your feet, its a great leg workout too. Well buit rope is nice to place in between your toes. Great buy. Super cute! Win Win! Toys are on the smaller size, perfect for a baby puppy learning a squeaker toy. Maybe 6 to 8 inches each. A nice buy for 13bucks.

Our dogs favorite toy
Color: Multicolor
The slothicorn is our dogs FAVORITE toy. The rainbow coloring is so cute. She loves playing with the unicorn horn. The horn is starting to fall off, but it's lasted a while since this is her #1 choice to play with. Will order another when it finally needs to be replaced. 10/10.

Perfect Squeaky Toy for My Exes Deranged Dog
Color: Multicolor, Color: Multicolor
My ex-beau and I are still friendly and we exchange Christmas presents. This year, I wanted to make sure that his utterly nutty and completely bonkers Aussie, Diego, got a new toy so that he has added enrichment in his enclosure. Diego really enjoyed this toy! A perfect size for him and a loud squeaker, which my ex will undoubtedly appreciate being squeaked non-stop while he is trying to game with his various assortment of video game people. Worth every penny. Diego’s smiling face is proof of his delight in his adorable Slothicorn. Squeak away, Diego! Squeak away!
