Not a bad watch..
Dropped by the Omega AD to finally check out the regular Speedmaster. Sadly, the AD had zero speedies so I meandered from display case to display case and saw this Omega De Ville Tresor.
I’m not in the market for these sorts of watches but this one caught my interest. It’s not a bad watch except for 2 things:
1- 40mm was too big on my under 7” wrist for an all dial, white dial watch
2- I’m not that averse to date dials but for the Tresor line, I prefer it to be without. Given the elegant case and dial design, it would be akin to putting a date window on a JLC MUT.
Anyway, the other features are quite appealing:
20mm lugs width
10mm thickness
manual wind
72 hr power reserve
At around 7k usd, it’s not a bad value proposition.

I like this model.
Too slender hour markers add to the emptiness of the dial. Omega has another Tresor line with small seconds subdial with darker color palette but it never caught enough attention. Let’s face it: Speedmaster and Seamaster are their bread and butter. ...
You are right
Omage should offer this design in a slightly reduced case (38mm.. Any one?) On the other hand, allow me to disagree with your point about the retail price for this piece (online discounts killed it for AD sales). Just my personal view..
Agreed on reduction in size, with the additional proviso . . .
. . . of adding some matte finishing to the case. The latest AT is another compelling design . . . . . . that could benefit from a traditional case with matte surfaces in conjunction with polished. The Trèsor line is supposed to be for dress occasions, so...
There's another guy just like me?! . . .
. . . the world's a more dangerous place than I thought.
There are some dateless variants,
some with central seconds, like this one, some with small seconds or power reserve. And I find them attractive too. Even the size didn't bother me personally (though I have a small wrist). Best. ...
I’ve seen and tried on the rose gold/grey dial version
and it looked really good. ...
