Add a touch of mid-century fashion to your fine watch collection with this 1960s Seamaster De Ville.

Today's offering showcases this Omega Seamaster De Ville with caliber 550 movement in all original condition.

The Seamaster DeVille, showcasing both refinement and high function, was the most important Omega line from a sales perspective in the latter part of the 1960's into the 1970's. It featured a monocoque - or one piece - case which insured water resistance and a slim, elegant profile.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 550 movement, and one of the superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. Arguably the finest mass-produced automatic movement from the era, despite the appreciation it receives it too remains not yet fully appreciated.

The case measures 34mm in diameter without the crown, the diameter of a Rolex Date watch.

The dial has vintage styled baton markers and with more highly stylized markers at three, six, nine, and 12 o'clock. Its subtle yet distinctive, geometric element gives the watch a mid-century modern feel, reminiscent of the architecture and design of the era.

We are pleased to offer it in all-original condition. Its case is in excellent condition with only very light wear. The case top and lugs appear never to have been polished with strong lines. Its untouched original dial is just short of perfect mint with one short hairline.

One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation.

It is keeping extremely accurate time on par with new Omega in testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new distressed vintage style leather strap and aftermarket Omega 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.

Accompanying the watch are its original inner and boxes, papers, and even sales receipt.

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.
