Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage gent's watches. It is full size, measuring 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust - and has a quick-setting date.

Living up to its name as one of the sophisticated "De Ville" models, it features a classic round case, striking black vignette, and very fine automatic Omega movement.

Powering it is Omega's automatic caliber 1012 23 jewel movement found in Seamasters and other models from the era.

It has all of its original parts down to the original waterproofing seal for the case back and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

Its case presents as mint with only light signs of having ever been polished. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration the movement has just been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running exceptionally strong and true, keeping extremely accurate time better than many brand new Omega watches in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap with aftermarket Omega style logo has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
