Under changing light it moves from inky navy to electric cobalt, the radial brushing catching the light in a way that feels almost liquid. In person its color is a true rich, deep royal blue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPowering it is Omega's very fine thin automatic caliber 711 movement. It has 24 jewels and is adjusted to two positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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\u003e\nIt has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't quite do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts case presents as mint with farily light signs of having ever been polished. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs part of the restoration, the movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. After more than half a century, it is still running exceptionally strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position. Photos of the inside available upon request. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfksin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style logo has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour 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\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSerial no.:\u003c\/b\u003e 37,019,181\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYear made:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1973\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e De Ville, Ref. 151.0039\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Automatic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Men \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase markings (inside):\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co., Swiss Made, Acier Inoxydable, 151.0039\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Presents as mint with farily light signs of having ever been polished \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 36mm wide (excluding crown), 38mm long lug tip-to-tip\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDial:\u003c\/b\u003e Signed Omega, royal blue, steel indexes topped with white, expertly restored\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHands:\u003c\/b\u003e Original, whitened steel batons\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMovement type:\u003c\/b\u003e Automatic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMovement markings:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co., Swiss, Adjusted Two Positions, Twenty Four Jewels, 711\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBand:\u003c\/b\u003e Calfskin leather, fully stitched, padded, brand new and unworn, aftermarket Omega style buckle.
