Thank you for visiting our listing. This elegant vintage wristwatch from Omega belongs to the classic De Ville Automatic collection, produced during the 1960s. The watch features a refined silver/white dial with minimalist baton hour markers — a bold baton at 12 and 6 o'clock — and the iconic Omega logo, paired with "OMEGA AUTOMATIC" and "DE VILLE" lettering, creating a clean and timeless aesthetic. "SWISS MADE" is noted at the base of the dial. The distinctive tapered rectangular case is finished in gold tone, with a gold-plated bezel (20 microns) and a stainless steel case back, typical of Omega dress watches from this era. Inside the watch is a reliable Swiss automatic mechanical movement, Omega Cal. 661 (24 jewels, adjusted to two positions), visible through the case back. These movements are known for their durability and precision and were widely used in Omega's vintage De Ville automatic watches of the 1960s. The watch has a compact, elegant size and is fitted with a black leather strap that complements the warm gold tone of the case. This piece represents a classic example of Omega's vintage design philosophy — simple, elegant, and built with genuine Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship. Please check the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
