As one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it has a classic case, striking royal blue dial that has a slight electric quality to it, and automatic caliber 1002 movement used in Seamasters from the era. Our photos couldn't do it justice! The dial is a rich blue color.
Its case has a unique design only used in a handful or so models from the era.
Despite the inherent difficulties associated with making rectangular cases, like this unusual cushion-shaped case impermeable, using an extremely high level of craftsmanship and an ingenious case design that features a case back that twists slightly to lock into place and unique pressure sealing crystal with flange that presses against the dial, Omega Perregaux succeeded in building a fully waterproof, cushion shaped case, an unusual feat for the era.
It is fully Omega down to the original hands, crown, and even unique signed Omega crystal! It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition.
Its case presents as mint. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the movement, which is keeping excellent time.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a new calf leather strap 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 custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
A half-century old Omega that presents like new!
