It features a classic and thin round case, fabulous castleton green dial, and very fine automatic Omega movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt measures 34.5mm without the crown - in between the sizes of a mens Rolex Date and Datejust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowering it is Omega's very fine thin automatic caliber 711 movement. It has 24 jewels and is adjusted to two positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original part and has just finished a true expertly done restoration - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents as mint with only slight signs of previous polishing. It lugs retain sharp lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished in castleton green - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Our photos couldn't quite do justice to the color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, its chronometer movement has been serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running strong and true, keeping time nearly on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial no.:\u003c\/b\u003e 23,631,535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear made:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e De Ville, Ref. 165.008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Automatic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Men \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase markings (inside):\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co., Swiss Made, Acier Inoxydable, 165.008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Presents as mint with only slight signs of previous polishing.
