Item No. 9710
$ 1,495.00
Today's offering showcases this impeccably restored example of one of Omega's ultra-thin automatic vintage watches.
Living up to its name as one of the sophisticated "De Ville" models, it features a classic round case, striking wine vignette, and very fine automatic Omega movement.
It is measures 34.5mm without the crown - in between the sizes of a mens Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.
Powering it is Omega's very fine thin automatic caliber 711 movement. It has 24 jewels and is adjusted to two positions.
The 700 series has a direct lineage to the celebrated 500 series, and is arguably as good, and collectors are beginning to recognize it accordingly. It was the last very fine movement series of its kind before Omega began to make budget cuts because of the quartz revolution.
It has all of its original parts 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 custom refinished in a red wine vignette color - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration, the movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style logo 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 full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
