Seamaster De Ville Appraisal

Vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville Automatic Wristwatch

This is a vintage mid-century Omega Seamaster De Ville automatic wristwatch, likely dating from the mid-1960s. The watch features a classic round case with a gold-tone finish (typically gold-filled or plated for this model era) and straight, elegant lugs. The dial is a sunburst silver or off-white color, sporting applied gold-tone baton hour markers and a matching handset. Notable text on the dial includes the Omega logo and name below the 12 o'clock position, followed by 'AUTOMATIC', and the dual branding 'Seamaster DE VILLE' above the 6 o'clock mark. This specific model includes a date window at the 3 o'clock position. The crystal appears to be acrylic and shows minor surface abrasions consistent with age. The case exhibits light honest wear, particularly on the sharp edges and lugs, but retains its original profile. The watch is mounted on a non-original, textured black leather strap with a simple buckle. This combined branding of 'Seamaster' and 'De Ville' was common in the 1960s before De Ville became its own separate product line in 1967. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high quality of Swiss horology from this period, characterized by slim proportions and a reliable mechanical automatic movement.
