Now that we have some new knowledgeable members, I thought I'd post this. Can anyone tell me about this watch? It was my dads, which he purchased in Germany sometime around 1965. I just recently had it serviced and put a new Omega acrylic crystal on it. Thanks for any help guys!     |

Sam, that is a nice watch It seems like the experts is not here today, but I'll try to help you as good as I can Here is what is said on Omegas pages OMEGA De Ville, 1960
Symbol of sturdy elegance, the name "De Ville" first appeared in October 1960 in the promotion of new Seamaster monocoque models, a line of flat, self-winding, water-resistant date watches with central seconds-hand; beginning in 1963, their dials were marked "Seamaster De Ville".
By 1967, the De Ville range had become the largest group within the OMEGA collection: simple models (hour-minute, hand-winding, non water-resistant during its first years), but youthful, colourful, varied, and adaptable to the latest fashion trendswww.omegawatches.com/index.php?id=492The Seamaster De Ville was delivered with different movements, so thats a secret unless you do open it. And so is the age Hopes that is a little start Jon |

Sam, someone like georges zaslavsky on WUS omega forum is very knowledgable about these sorts of pieces.. you may want to fire off an email to him.. he is very friendly.. otherwise, dont know how much jean michel would know about non-speedy vintages.. but again he is very knowledgable and friendly.

As I am a totally ignorant in regards to vintage Omegas I can only offer this, "That's one damn fine looking watch." |
