Today's offering showcase this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage watches.

As one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it has an elegant case, royal blue dial, and automatic caliber 1002 movement used in Seamasters from the era.

The case measures 34mm without the crown - the width of a Rolex Date watch and two millimeters smaller than a Rolex Datejust.

It has all of its original parts down to even its original crystal! It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition.

Its case presents as gorgeous mint with perfect facets. On the wrist it presents as completely like new. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done.

The dial is a beautiful rich royal blue. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!

As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the movement.

Here is a link to the gold-plated version of the watch in the Omega Vintage Database.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap 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 and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity
