Today's offering showcases this cool and uncommon vintage Seamaster De Ville mens watch. Unlike most Seamasters from the era which were automatic, this uncommon reference was powered by Omega's caliber 600 handwound movement. The thinner movement allows for a thinner case than with automatic Seamasters.

It measures at approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.

It has a monocoque - or one piece - case which insured water resistance and slim, elegant profile. The case when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.

It is 100% Omega down to the dial, hands, and winding crown. The case presents as mint. The dial presents as just short of perfect mint with light aging. And the movement is near pristine.

Our watchmaker has just freshly disassembled the fine movement, which was originally adjusted to two positions, down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled it.

1960's and early 70's Seamasters are great long-term buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.

For the finishing touch a new leather strap has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

The Seamaster:
Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been were embraced by water sports enthusiasts and often marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
