Living up to its name as one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it has a classic case and gorgeous Tiffany blue turquoise dial.
It has a monocoque - or one-piece - Omega case, which when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.
Powering it is Omega's automatic caliber 1012 engine found in Seamasters and other models from the era. It has 23 jewels, seven more than most Omega's from the era.
It is fully Omega down to the original hands and winding crown and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.
The case presents as mint. The original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has freshly fully overhauled the movement. We have timed it in five chronometer positions - it continues to keep time on par with a new Omega.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included 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.
A four decade old Omega that presents like new on the wrist!
