Omega - Seamaster De Ville - Men - 1960-1969

A0000004590

Exceptional luxury wristwatch for men or unisex Omega Seamaster De Ville, part of the brand's elegant classic line, manufactured during the 1960s. This unit stands out for its 34 mm diameter case, which features around the dial a sumptuous plain gold bezel. It should be noted that exclusively the bezel is gold, a design detail that adds extraordinary brilliance and a great formal elegance to the piece, contrasting gracefully 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 official brand lettering. On the back of the stainless steel case, the iconic original 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 matching gold buckle. A work of art from the golden era of vintage watchmaking, in excellent condition.

Condition Status: Collector Quality / Excellent Vintage Condition
Given that 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) surrounding the dial is in magnificent condition, maintaining its original deep shine and free of dents or significant impact marks. The stainless steel case back preserves its central medallion perfectly defined.

Dial and Crystal: The original champagne/gold-toned dial is immaculate, free of severe moisture stains or loss of lettering. The crystal is highly transparent and clean.

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

Curious Fact for Collectors
For international appraisers and advanced Catawiki collectors, Omega Seamaster De Ville models from the 1960s that combine steel cases with an exclusive gold bezel are highly sought-after pieces in the European secondary market. By integrating gold only around the dial, the watch achieves absolute formal versatility (the coveted discreet two-tone style), becoming a status accessory suitable for both daily wear and grand occasions. Finding a unit from this era in such pristine condition represents a superb investment opportunity with a highly stable market value.
