Today's offering showcases this prime all-original example of one of Omega's ultra-thin automatic vintage watches.
Living up to its name as one of the sophisticated "De Ville" models, it features a classic round case, timeless silver linen dial, and very fine automatic Omega movement. It really looks great sitting under a cuff. If you'd like a picture of it on the wrist, let us know.
It measures 34.5mm without the crown - in between the sizes of a mens Rolex Date and Datejust.
Powering it is Omega's very fine thin automatic caliber 711 movement. It has 24 jewels and is adjusted to two positions.
The 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.
It has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.
Its case presents as mint with slight signs of previous polishing. Its dial is original and untouched, in mint condition.
Its movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style 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.
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 special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
