Our Take
For more than 170 years Omega has been at the forefront of exploration, whether to the moon or the depths of the ocean, they have been there. This great example of the classic 1960s De Ville model doesn’t disappoint, the gold plated round case with the diamond-cut bezel is rather unique measuring only 18mm in diameter and 24mm from lug to lug, a petite watch perfect for a small wrist. The aged gold dial has stick markers, and sword-shaped hands, all under a new replacement plexiglass crystal. The gold crown is signed and winds up the movement. The watch is powered by a manual wind calibre 484 movement with 17 jewels and keeps good time. The serial number on the inside of the case is 511.166. The bracelet has been replaced with a black croc style leather bracelet with a gold buckle and will fit a wrist of about 6.3” or 16cm approximately. The watch comes without the original box and papers, but a gift box will be provided. Overall a great watch, showing its age but with plenty of wear in it still. Water-resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.
