That is the De Ville Prestige (more)
In Response To: DeVille Line ()

: I've just seen a couple of new(?) DeVille
: models with a great Contemporary/Classic
: look... (Actually, I saw Muldar on X Files
: with one)Any info appreciated! Especially:
: can I get this one with a black dial? What
: movement is in 'em? $$? Waterproofness?

Nothing new---these have been around for several years. They are called the "De Ville Prestige" line. I own the all steel version like the picture you included.

Most of the De Ville Prestige models use the same Omega automatic chronometer or quartz movements used in the Seamaster Pro.

All current Omega watches including the De Villes are water resistant to 30 meters, unless specified higher (like the Seamaster models).

From the Omega web site: Our OMEGA DeVille watches are seen on the characters Fox Mulder and Dana Scully played by actors Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in "X-Files".
DEVILLE SYMBOL, ref. 4260.23 (Dana Scully) DEVILLE PRESTIGE, ref. 4810.51 black (Fox Mulder)

Mulder wears the quartz version, but the same watch is also available with the automatic chronometer movement (4800.51.01) or in a manual wind version with a sub-seconds (4820.51.01).
