Today's offering showcases this cool and uncommon vintage Seamaster De Ville mens watch.
Unlike most Seamasters from the era which were automatic, this reference was powered by Omega's uncommon caliber 613 handwound movement. The thinner movement allows for a thinner case than with automatic Seamasters. And while all of the calibers in the 600 series aren't particularly common in vintage Seamasters, the 613 with its quick-setting date is particularly uncommon.
It measures approx. 33.5mm in diameter without the crown, just a half a millimeter smaller than a Rolex Date watch.
It has a monocoque - or one piece - case which originally insured water resistance and a slim, elegant profile. The case when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.
It has fully Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition.
Its case presents as mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
A Master Watchmaker has overhauled the uncommon movement which was originally adjusted to two positions. It is running very strong and true,keeping time on par with a new Omega, in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch a new aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle 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.
