The wristwatch showcased in today's offering is a handsome example of one of Omega's pleasing vintage De Ville pieces.

Living up to its name as one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it features a classic and understated case with 18K gold plated top, strong black dial, quartz Omega movement with sweep seconds and quick-setting date, and sapphire crystal. 

It has the look of a solid gold Omega for a fraction of the price.

It is fully Omega down to its hands and winding crown and presents in beautiful condition - about a a 9.7 out of 10. The dial is original and untouched. The case has been freshly gold plated and presents as mint on the wrist.

A Master Watchmaker has installed a new battery and performed any needed servicing. For the finishing touch a new calfskin leather strap has been installed 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.
