Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage gent's watches. It is full size, measuring 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust - and has a quick-setting date.

Living up to its name as one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it has a classic case and beautiful royal blue vignette dial.

Its monococque - or one-piece - Omega case, which when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back measures over 35mm in diameter - nearly the same size as a Rolex Datejust.

Powering it is Omega's automatic caliber 1012 engine found in Seamasters and other models from the era. It has 23 jewels, seven more than most Omega's from the era.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has freshly fully overhauled the movement. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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

A four decade old Omega that presents like new on the wrist!

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 training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
