The Omega De Ville Prestige 50th Anniversary designation covers distinct gold watches, not a single reference. The researched versions are red gold (424.53.40.20.04.004), white gold (424.53.40.20.04.002) and yellow gold (424.53.40.20.04.005). Check the full reference number when identifying or comparing one: their metals and some listed details differ.
What is the Omega De Ville Prestige 50th Anniversary?
It is a commemorative group of De Ville Prestige watches marking the collection’s anniversary. Omega says the De Ville Prestige has been in its collection since 1994, describing it as “a symbol of classical design and refined elegance within OMEGA’s collections.” Omega’s collection archive
The anniversary versions share a dress-watch format, but the three references covered here should not be treated as interchangeable. Omega’s researched product pages mark the red- and white-gold references discontinued; that status does not establish whether a particular watch is available from a seller now.
How do the three references differ?
| Reference | Case metal and dial | Strap and buckle | Published dimensions and movement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 424.53.40.20.04.004 | 39.5 mm red-gold case and bezel; white dial | Brown alligator-leather strap; 18K red-gold pin buckle | 20 mm lug width; 44.90 mm lug-to-lug; 10.10 mm thick; automatic calibre 2500; 48-hour power reserve |
| 424.53.40.20.04.002 | 39.5 mm white-gold case; white dial | Grey leather strap; white-gold buckle | 20 mm lug width; 44.90 mm lug-to-lug; 10.10 mm thick; calibre 2500; 48-hour power reserve |
| 424.53.40.20.04.005 | 39.5 mm yellow-gold case; white enamel dial with grey Arabic numerals, red 12 marker, railway minute track and date at six | Not stated on Omega Japan’s cited listing | Calibre 2500; other dimensions and power reserve not stated on Omega Japan’s cited listing |
Specifications for the red-gold reference come from Omega’s product page; those for the white-gold reference come from Omega’s product page. Yellow-gold dial and movement details are from Omega Japan’s listing. The source pages do not establish the omitted yellow-gold specifications.

What does the caseback show?
The commemorative caseback bears a Chronos medallion and the inscriptions “DE VILLE” and “50th ANNIVERSARY.” Omega’s Japanese listing for the white-gold model describes a vertically brushed caseback. These details can help identify the commemorative design, but confirm the complete reference and the individual watch’s condition when evaluating a specific example.

- Match the full reference. Confirm the number on the watch and its documentation rather than relying on a listing title such as “De Ville 50th Anniversary.”
- Verify metal and configuration. Compare the case metal, dial, strap and buckle against the relevant reference; the anniversary name alone does not identify those details.
- Interpret water resistance cautiously. Omega lists 3 bar (30 m / 100 ft) for the red- and white-gold references. That is the published specification, not a guarantee of water resistance for an aging pre-owned watch.
- Treat strap width as a starting point. Omega lists 20 mm between the lugs on the red- and white-gold versions. This can guide an initial strap search, but does not verify fit or compatibility with a particular replacement strap or buckle.
- Ask about the individual watch. The official sources do not establish current market prices, production quantities, service history, present-day condition or live availability. Check those with the seller rather than inferring them from the anniversary designation.
Omega’s cited red- and white-gold product pages identify those references as discontinued. Consult a seller for current stock and condition; the official listings do not establish current availability.
