Omega - Seamaster De Ville - Men - 1960-1969

A0000004590

Exceptional luxury wristwatch for men or unisex, Omega Seamaster De Ville, part of the elegant classic line of the Swiss firm, manufactured during the 1960s. This unit stands out for its 34 mm diameter case, which features around the dial a sumptuous smooth gold bezel. It is worth noting that only the bezel is gold, a design detail that provides extraordinary brilliance and a great formal prestige to the piece, contrasting elegantly with the rest of the ensemble.

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 raised sea-horse (Seamaster) engraving is on display. 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 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, preserving its original deep shine and free of dents or severe impact marks. The stainless steel back preserves its central medallion perfectly defined.

Dial and Crystal: The original champagne/golden-h tone dial appears impeccable, free of severe moisture stains or loss of lettering. The crystal is extremely clear 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 collectors of Catawiki, 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 edge of the dial, the watch gains absolute formal versatility (the coveted discreet two-tone style), becoming an ideal status accessory for both everyday 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.

Wishing you the best of luck in your bidding and a fantastic auction to all Catawiki participants!
