1967 Omega Seamaster DeVille Vintage Mens Rare Cal. 560 Watch, Date - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 5595

The Seamaster De Ville, showcasing both refinement and high function, was the most important Omega line from a sales perspective from the latter part of the 1960's into the 1970's. 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.

Today's offering showcases this rare, classic and pleasing all original Seamaster De Ville with caliber 560 movement. It features Omega's rare caliber 560 movement of which only 3,000 examples were made. These movements were split across nine models, making each in effect a "limited edition."

It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, original crown, original Omega beads of rice bracelet and even signed crystal!

It is in beautiful original condition.

The top of its case appears to never have been polished and and retains crisp facets. The back appears to have had just a light polish at some point. Its untouched silver dial is in just short of mint condition. Its bracelet has received a light polish and the finish presents as just short of mint, and it has fairly mild stretch.

'60'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.

Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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