Description from the seller
Presented for auction by Second Vintage
A timeless and elegant ladies' timepiece, this Omega De Ville reference 555.003 showcases classic 1960s styling. Combining a well-preserved silver sunburst dial with the reliable mechanical performance of the automatic Caliber 661, it represents a beautiful and highly wearable example of Omega's mid-century design language.
Brand: Omega
Model: De Ville
Reference Number: 555.003
Movement: Automatic, Caliber 661
Dial: Silver sunburst with applied indices
Case Size: 19 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1960s
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +20+22s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The dial is in excellent vintage condition, featuring a beautiful silver sunburst finish that remains highly attractive. Applied indices with black inserts provide excellent legibility alongside clean, crisp typography. Minor dust or debris is visible only under macro magnification, not detracting from the well-preserved sunburst character. The original stick hands also feature black inserts and display light aging, with minor oxidation and surface wear visible under close inspection.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case exhibits honest vintage wear, with straight lugs maintaining defined edges. A smooth polished bezel frames the dial, showing light surface scratches consistent with the case's age and normal use. The domed acrylic crystal displays light surface scratches visible at certain angles. A scalloped-edge crown, clearly signed with the Omega logo, retains good definition with only minor wear.
Movement
Powering this watch is the Omega Caliber 661 automatic movement, featuring 24 jewels and adjusted to two positions. The movement displays Omega's signature copper-colored plating and presents a clean visual appearance, with no obvious corrosion or damage visible. Recording +20+22s/day on the timegrapher. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a classic black leather strap featuring a crocodile pattern. The strap is in good condition, showing light wear and creasing from normal use.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The stainless steel case and bezel show light surface scratches consistent with normal wear, while the original silver sunburst dial remains remarkably well-preserved. The hands show minor oxidation under magnification, and the acrylic crystal bears light surface scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the Caliber 661 automatic movement is running strong and steady.
Dimensions
The case measures 19 mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This De Ville offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a classic ladies' Omega with a capable automatic movement. The beautiful silver sunburst dial and signed crown make it a versatile and charming addition to any collection.
History
The Omega De Ville line officially became a standalone collection in 1967, having previously been a subset of the highly successful Seamaster family. This reference 555.003 was introduced to the international collection that same year. It is powered by the Omega Caliber 661, a mechanical automatic movement.
