Living up to its name as one of the upscale "De Ville" models, the watch features a sophisticated case, classic silver dial, and very fine automatic Omega movement.
It's an uncommon model that featured an automatic movement in a rectangular - most often automatic movements were only put in round cases. Despite it's low profile, because of its indirectly driven minutes and seconds, space was left in the center for a rugged rotor bearing, which allowed Omega at times to fit the movement in the thinner rectangular cases.
Powering the watch is its original caliber 1010 automatic movement with quick-setting date. It is one of the early 10xx series of movements that powered many of Omega's watches from the era including Seamasters and was even worked into a chronometer version.
It is fully Omega down to the original hands, winding crown, and even original crystal!
It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in amazing condition. The case presents as mint. The original dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. And the perfectly custom hand painted Pluto gives it such a light-hearted and distinctive look.
It has just been fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker (a $495 value). Its movement is very clean and is keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
