Today's offering showcases this impeccably restored example of one of Omega's ultra-thin automatic vintage watches.
Living up to its name as one of the sophisticated "De Ville" models, it features a classic round case, royal blue dial, and very fine automatic Omega movement.
It is nice and pleasingly larger than most similar dress watches from the era - it measures 36mm without the crown - the same size as a mens Rolex Datejust.
Powering it is Omega's very fine thin automatic caliber 711 movement. It has 24 jewels and is adjusted to two positions.
The 700 series has a direct lineage to the celebrated 500 series, and is arguably as good, and collectors are beginning to recognize it accordingly. It was the last very fine movement series of its kind before Omega began to make budget cuts because of the quartz revolution.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.6 out of 10.
Its case presents as mint with only light signs of having ever been polished. Our photos couldn't do it justice.
Its original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. And its well-crafted movement is clean.
As part of the restoration, the movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket leather strap with aftermarket Omega style logo has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
