Omega - Seamaster De Ville - Men - 1960-1969

A0000004590

Exceptional luxury wristwatch for gentleman or unisex Omega Seamaster De Ville, belonging to the elegant classic line of the Swiss brand, manufactured during the 1960s. This unit stands out for its 34 mm diameter case, which incorporates around the dial a sumptuous plain bezel made in gold. 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 gold applied indices matching the bezel, highly legible baton hands, and the brand's official lettering. On the back of the stainless steel case, the iconic original raised 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. A work of art from the golden era of vintage watchmaking, in excellent condition.

Condition: Collection Quality / Excellent Vintage Condition
Considering that the piece is over 50 years old, its cosmetic and operational preservation is superb:

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

Dial and Crystal: The original dial in champagne/gold tone is immaculate, free of severe moisture stains or loss of lettering. The crystal is extremely translucent and clean.

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