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 from 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 bezel made in gold. It is worth noting that only the bezel is gold, a design detail that adds extraordinary brilliance and a great formal gravitas to the piece, elegantly contrasting 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 markers matching the bezel, highly legible baton hands, and the official brand 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-plated buckle to match. A work of art from the vintage watchmaking golden era, in excellent condition.

Condition Status: Collector’s Quality / Excellent Vintage Condition
Considering that the piece is over 50 years old, its cosmetic and operational 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 from dents or severe impact marks. The stainless steel screw-down case back preserves its central medallion perfectly defined.

Dial and Crystal: The original champagne/golden tone dial is pristine, free of severe moisture stains or loss of lettering. The crystal looks extremely clear and clean.

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

Curious Fact for the Collector
For international assessors and advanced Catawiki collectors, Omega Seamaster De Ville models from the 60s 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 gains absolute formal versatility (the coveted discreet two-tone style), becoming an ideal status accessory for both daily wear and grand occasions. Finding a unit from this era in such pristine condition represents a magnificent investment opportunity with a very stable market value.
