The Most Affordable Contemporary OMEGA - The OMEGA De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Review

[@omegawatchfan]

39.5mm version of these Omega DeVille Prestige are my favorite. Very versatile size, can be dressed up or down. Absolute sleeper of a watch.

[@nigwelwhi]

My wrist is over 7 1/2 inches, I used to only wear 40 mil + case diameters then got my first vintage watch an omega geneve 34 mil. The first week I didn't like it and was tempted to return it, after 2 weeks it was my primary watch, the size actually makes it stand out, it looks more expensive and elegant than my bigger watches, whose size I no longer like, it's strange how the mind works!

[@ahmedalqemzi1554]

The DeVille is just breathtaking! Simply put it's just exquisitely sophisticated.

[@adams5574]

My grandpa when he passed away he gave me a omega de ville gold from probably 1960 is the one from Scarface

[@andreaiacolina]

Beautiful, elegant and timeless. Love this model, one of my favorite from Omega. Thanks Teddy!

[@dingidingibang1720]

Can the bracelet be change ? It does look like it is integrated

[@andreaiacolina]

@@dingidingibang1720 yes, you can change it.

[@BuddhaRice]

this is great, my wife is not a watch person, but I was determined to get her a timeless watch. We ended up getting the de ville, and she has been very happy with this!

[@MS-sy8ls]

I wore a 42mm Omega for 12 years and earlier this year bought a 40mm Rolex. It felt small for a few weeks but now I love it. I also have a vintage 34mm Tudor which I inherited from my grandfather. At first I thought it was too small to wear but you’re right - after just a couple of wears you get used to the smaller sizes. Happy days!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Thanks for sharing this! I have had the reverse experience starting with smaller pieces and climbing up to 40 mm. Also, great piece to inherit. Enjoy it and thanks for watching!

[@MS-sy8ls]

Teddy Baldassarre thanks Teddy, great content as always. Keep it coming! 👍🏻

[@marky9223]

I have 8" wrists and was really into vintage watches when I first started collecting. I think the smallest I had was a 35mm Tudor from the 50's. But, as i moved away from vintage into contemporary designs, my tastes changed and I didn't care for the smaller sizes and eventually sold all my vintage watches. I still don't like huge watches though and usually stay between 40 and 42 mm.

[@nackytacky]

If it weren’t for your videos showcasing watches for smaller wrists, I wouldn’t have realized the wonderful proportions of smaller watches on my wrist. Now my largest watch is a 40mm which feels large against my 34-38mms. Wonderful content as always!

[@bighands69]

40mm should be for sports watches that are used for various tasks such as diving.

[@MidEnginedFan]

Wow, handsome watch! Love the silver and simple face. No minute markers are a bonus and keep the display simple and elegant. Thanks for showing this 👍

[@davidnickson7034]

This size is ideal for many people, perhaps most. The size, in terms of the diameter of the dial in addition to the case is rarely mentioned and would be worth including.

[@thewealthwatchman]

I’ve liked the De Ville lineup and it’s one of the reasons I gravitated to the Tissot: Chemin des Tourelles, as it struck me as a “poor man’s De Ville”. Thanks Teddy!

[@stephen9609]

That's a nice one, but aren't its proportions bigger than the De Ville?

[@namduonghoang2931]

dont be thinking it "poor man this" or "poor man that" bro, every watch has its own beauty.

[@manyam7041]

Tissot is not that good quality compared to omega !

[@liptak15]

Exactly like myself! I already bought the Chemins with steel bracelet and white dial and I love them dearly. But I'm starting considering vintage DeVille with leather strap for my second / special occasion watch :). I just love this simple, clean, understated and elegant design.

[@RolexReviews]

Love whenever your reviews popup in my recommended feed as the name suggests I'm more of a Rolex person but it's nice to learn about other beautiful pieces 👍👍👍

[@robd1012]

i have the omega deville 39mm prestige with the blue face and steel strap and wear it with everything, i think it's quite versatile. what do you guys think?

[@melo11n]

I agree with the tendency of getting used to a larger watch. All my watches are 40-45mm size. I had a marlin 34mm and I returned it , I wasn't used to it and couldn't stand the visible tan lines lol cool vid. thanks

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Yeah 40-45 mm is a big jump down. I have noticed with myself recently wearing more 40 mm pieces that going back to this sizing does take a moment to adjust. Thanks for watching!

[@dkpirie]

You such a nice, unassuming guy and so knowledgeable about watches. Your photography is excellent, changing the background shows the watch off in a different way and keeps our interest going.

[@jkkay477]

My 90s-era Constellation (the Manhattan series that Teddy isn’t a fan of) has a 32mm case, which is _tiny_ by today’s standards, but I’ve been very happily wearing it for the past 25-odd years. It’s only recently when I looked for a diver’s watch that I realised how huge modern watches have gotten.

[@bighands69]

Wrist watches are suppose to be small and unassuming. It is ok when you need a large dial for visibility when diving. Real men were discrete watches.

[@vanidge]

Great video you have very good taste. I was going to get this exact same watch and was punching myself deciding between the Deville Prestige or the Aqua Terra stainless steel silver dial. In the end i got the Aqua Terra at 38 mm but i know for sure the prestige is a buy for me in the future.

[@lukefellows7493]

Nice review Teddy. I own this exact model and wear it as my dress watch. It is a good watch and great value pre-owned. I have an 8 inch wrist so it is probably a little small for me but it still looks sharp.

[@francosfusion]

Have you noticed the sound of the watch ticking is quite noticeable and also the sound when you move your wrist?

[@bm5192]

Always saw this online but when I saw it in person and tried it on, I was impressed. Fit great on the wrist and would make a very good dress watch. It is on my list to get someday.

[@mrbreede]

I got used to small watches. I feel 40mm look comically big on my wrist.

[@chauhanrajput4733]

My wrist is around 6 inch. Is 33mm watch ok for me? Is it too small or great?

[@akshayprabhakar5183]

Chauhan Rajput 33mm looks great on any wrist regardless of the size. As you have a 6 inch wrist, anything below 38mm is okay. A 33mm is a perfect dress watch size for you!

[@chauhanrajput4733]

@@akshayprabhakar5183 since you are an Indian you might know about the sonata watch they have many affordable watches for people who can not spend more then Rs.700/- there are many sonata watches with 32mm size so i wonder if 32mm watch too small for man !?

[@akshayprabhakar5183]

@@chauhanrajput4733 Depends on your wrist size. You said you have a 6 inch wrist, so I think 32mm is okay for a dress watch. But keep in mind that case diameter is not the only factor deciding the watch size. Check lug to lug, case height etc. since you’re asking about Sonata watches, you can easily go to a nearby shop and try one to see which one fits you. No worries. 😊

[@chauhanrajput4733]

@@akshayprabhakar5183 i hate large lugs it just ruin the watch unwanted large lugs sometime i feel that i cut off my watch's long lugs with axe or hand saw i would kidnap that watch maker makes large lugs and will torture him for 15 days at least i would make him cut off 1 million long lugs with hand saw to get release

I have a baby wrist and it's perfect! Scooped mine up new for 2200 !

[@JamesDuncan1]

The De Ville Prestige makes for a great dress watch if you like the conservative look.

[@youngalwyn1124]

I own a two-tone example of this watch, but it’s the previous model. I think that the diameter of mine is 35.8mm or some-such. I’ve had it for several years and it’s one of my favorites.

[@utsavpaliwal99]

As far as size preferences go, i feel its more like asking what size shirts you wear. It depends on your own dimensions and what fits. A 36mm on my slender wrists looks good, but it might not look good someone with bigger wrists. This is usually the case, unless we're talking about one off concept pieces which are meant to be a certain way like John Mayer's Concept AP chrono. Also wanted to say that l really like these one watch reviews of yours!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Very good and fair points! I agree. And more reviews coming (have quite a feel lined up!)

[@christopherliang6879]

Looks beautiful! Cheaper than the Rolex Oyster Perpetual but displays date as well! Both are great watches!

[@OmerBonfil]

I have 7.25in wrist, my grandfather's Omega Geneve is 34mm and I love it, I have some other vintage watches in the range of 33-35mm from Onsa, Duxot and Citizen. I have my Seamaster 300 which is 41mm which is my sweet spot, but the smaller ones are much better for dressier occasions.

[@hambone988ubet]

I own the 38mm De Ville. Really like the style...great video!

[@markn3586]

Which Deville is a 38mm Hambone?

[@whatsinanameish]

I have a 7.25 wrist and work best with 42 or 43mm... but to your question about smaller watches on larger wrists: I find myself attracted to the more edgy vintage pieces of the 60's and 70's where you have cushion or tv dials that take something that is basically 34 or 36mm and gives it more of a 40mm presence to the eye.

[@villegas24]

this is where this years bonus might go to, beautiful piece

[@allankleidon6437]

Some people are picking up Vintage De Villes and adding Strap/Bracelet Cuffs at the mo, to compensate the smaller case diameter on larger wrists, looks cool.

[@MacPro8CoreMan]

I have a 35.5mm dress watch which is from 2016. I'm 56 years old and every time I wear this small piece my wife says it makes me look like I'm 10 years older. As for my own personal taste, I do like a 39-42mm vintage look dress watch.

[@ThroatSore]

Good call. It was my first. Dark Blue. Beautiful.

[@NinjaFighter31]

That omega looks great and love the photo of the two toned blue sub 💙💙

[@RevLev06]

Yes, I have two old Seikos, one at 34 mm, one at 36mm and a Wenger at 35mm. I am used to small dial watches. Even though I have a 7.25 inch wrist and wear a 40 and 42 mm watch, I prefer a smaller watch dial diameter.

[@LlyleHunter]

There are 39.5mm versions of this watch available for men with larger wrists. A 39.5 and a 36 mm pairing makes for a nice anniversary gift.

[@LlyleHunter]

There are now 41mm case side options available with some classic Omega dials available as of November 2022

[@mattinthemountains]

I wish the vintage watches were just a bit bigger. I have a 7.5” wrist and am 6’2” at 200lbs. Unfortunately anything under 40mm looks very odd and honestly quite feminine on me. I have seen so many beautiful watches come by and have been admiring them for a long time. I absolutely adore the vintage omegas and rolexes, but I can’t pull it off. I might still buy one just to admire and maybe put on at home when no one is looking.

[@ebeaug]

I have about a 7.75 inch wrist and I love wearing sub-38mm watches. Love the vintage Rolexes in 34-36mm size, Tudor Black Bay 36 and my current go-to watch is an Omega Seamaster Co-axial diver Midsize (36.25mm). To put things in perspective for a lot of folks who are all about the larger watches, the original Submariner was about 37mm in diameter.

[@bighands69]

A large dial for diving is a great choice but it is not needed for every day life.

[@shutterclix]

I don’t mind smaller watches, but the smallest I’ll go is 38mm with my Seiko SNK805. Great video as always 👍🏼

[@derbagger22]

I have a 39mm Sea-Gull dress watch for my 7.5" wrist. It's fine. But I still would prefer sightly larger.

[@1018Frankie]

I don’t wear anything less than 39mm, my wrist is not that big(7.25”) but I’m a big guy 6’-3” and 300# and I don’t like how small watches look on me. Nice video and keep the good work my friend!

Regarding its size, you failed to mention that it is available in 39.5 mm as well. In short fellas, if you're turned off by the "small" size of this example, you can get a bigger one.

Hey Teddy, I am interested in buying a watch that found online, but I don’t know if it is original.

It's very similar to the women's Seiko presage cocktail time (SRP843J1 for example), which can be had for 300-500 USD.

[@Gaston-Monescu]

Thanks for the nice overview of an under-appreciated model. Since you asked: I wanted a more elegant watch than my Raymond Weil quartz chronograph and have always been interested in Omega. For my first Omega, I got a 1972 C-case Constellation, and I really like it on my 7.5-inch wrist. Maybe it helps that the C-case design visually extends the case in two dimensions, but it makes for a versatile watch that fits easily under a dress shirt.

[@ddewaard3265]

On the topic of small watches, I'm in my early 20's with a number of watches ranging from 39-44mm and I wanted to see how a small watch would look on my wrist. I bought a small 34mm vintage manually wound ancre watch for 30 euros and I love the size and slimness of it. Thanks to this cheap try out, I'm in the market for a similarly sized (34-37mm) dress watch at a higher price point (300-500 euros) to replace it any thoughts?

Super late comment but, I have an average sized wrist. I although, I do own a 46mm watch, and it doesn't look too ridiculous on the wrist. But in my experience wearing smaller watches, a round case looks smaller compared to a square or square-like case. I wear a 35mm Bulova dress watch quite often, and that watch looks bigger than my snk-805. So if anyone wants to try a smaller watch but hasn't found one that looks way too small, give a non round watch a try
