Today's offering showcases this handsome 14K gold Omega Seamaster De Ville in gorgeous condition. It is an uncommon model made for the U.S. market with its original box, band and buckle which show hardly any signs of use.

Note that when the photographs were taken the bezel had not been fully seated after being removed for opening.

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 563 movement, and one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. Arguably the finest mass-produced automatic movement from era, despite the appreciation it receives it too remains not yet fully appreciated. It has 17 jewels and a quick-setting date.

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

We are pleased to offer it in all-original condition down to the original band and buckle. Its case is just short of perfect mint. It retains strong lines. Its untouched original dial is mint. And its movement is very clean.

One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It winds smoothly. We have also timed it on a machine that spins the watch in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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