Today's offering showcases this classic retro Omega De Ville in gorgeous restored condition.

It lives up to its name as one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models. It has a classic retro case with sunburst finish, royal blue dial, and automatic caliber 1002 movement also used in Seamasters from the era.

Its monocoque - or one-piece - Omega case when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.

It has all original parts. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

Its case presents as mint with light signs of previous polishing. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. It has a much deeper and richer tone than our photos suggest. They just couldn't do it justice.

As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has just fully overhauled the movement. After more than half of a century, it continues to run extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new complementarily colored leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle 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.

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.
