Omega - Seamaster De Ville - Men - 1960-1969

A0000004590

Exceptional luxury wristwatch for gentleman or unisex Omega Seamaster De Ville, part of the elegant classic line of the Swiss firm, manufactured throughout the 1960s. This unit stands out for its 34 mm diameter case, which features a sumptuous smooth gold bezel surrounding the dial. It should be noted that only the bezel is gold, a design detail that provides extraordinary shine and great formal prestige to the piece, contrasting elegantly with the rest of the set.

The original dial, with a clean, neat, and minimalist design (no date window for perfect symmetry), features applied gold markers matching the bezel, high-visibility baton hands, and the brand’s official lettering. On the back of the stainless steel case, the iconic original raised relief engraving of the hippocampus (Seamaster) is displayed. Inside beats its precise and reliable Swiss-made mechanical movement. It comes equipped with an elegant genuine black leather strap and a gold-tone buckle to match. A work of art from the golden era of vintage watchmaking, in excellent condition.

Condition Status: Collector Quality / Excellent Vintage Condition
Considering the piece is over 50 years old, its cosmetic and functional preservation is superb:

Gold Case and Bezel: The case structure retains its clean lines. The sumptuous gold bezel (the only solid gold part of the watch) is in magnificent condition, maintaining its deep original shine and free of dents or severe impact marks. The stainless steel case back retains its perfectly defined central medallion.

Dial and Crystal: The original champagne/gold-toned dial is pristine, free of serious moisture stains or loss of typography. The crystal is highly translucent and clean.

Movement and Operation: Fully operational. The internal mechanism responds with the precision and smoothness characteristic of classic Swiss manufacture.

Curious Fact for the Collector
For international appraisers and advanced Catawiki collectors, Omega Seamaster De Ville models from the 60s that combine steel cases with an exclusive gold bezel are highly interesting and in demand on the European secondary market. By integrating gold only around the perimeter of the dial, the watch gains absolute formal versatility (the coveted discreet two-tone style), becoming a status accessory suitable both for daily use and for grand occasions. Finding a unit from this era in such pristine condition represents a magnificent investment opportunity with a highly stable market value.
