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.

Cheap and good
Color: Black, Color: Black
I chose the color black and it gives a really nice look, especially with the multicolor led lights around the keys. It is very easy to clean and you can shut off the keyboard to prevent any mess with the iPad. The magnet is very nice and keeps the keyboard in place. The keyboard doesn’t easily slip or anything so it holds the iPad very well. Only bad thing is that over time the iPad begins to scrape off the pain and it leaves your keyboard with some white spots all over :/ but if looks isn’t something that you care about, this is the keyboard for you. Don’t use it for gaming because there is a delay in functionality when you press a key and then try to use the pad. Also, you have to press the keys a bit harder than the usual keyboard. But for the price? This is a great item! Definitely worth my money

Great quality case and keyboard
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
Super good quality case, I was actually surprised since it’s such a good price. It fit my 10.9 inch perfectly! Keyboard has magnetic attachment to the case which is super handy, and it connected with Bluetooth seamlessly. Keyboard isn’t silent, it’s on the louder side, but not too loud at all and it doesn’t bother me at all because I prefer clickier keyboards. Oh also something that’s really cool is that you can change the colors of the keyboard, love that!

Amazing!
Color: Midnight Green
The Hamile Keyboard Case for iPad (11th & 10th Generation) is a practical accessory for turning your iPad into a more laptop-like setup. Designed with a detachable wireless keyboard and protective case, it’s aimed at students, professionals, and anyone who types frequently on their tablet. One of its most appealing features is the 7-color backlit keyboard, which makes typing easier in low-light environments while also adding a customizable, stylish look. The backlighting can usually be adjusted in brightness and color, making it both functional and fun to use. The keys are generally responsive and comfortable enough for everyday typing tasks like emails, notes, and document work. The case itself provides decent protection for the iPad, helping guard against scratches and minor bumps. It also holds the tablet at a stable viewing angle, which is useful for video calls, studying, or streaming. The wireless connection is typically simple to set up via Bluetooth, and the keyboard can be detached when not needed.
