Vintage Omega De Ville Quartz Tank-Style Watch

This is a vintage men's Omega De Ville dress watch, likely dating from the late 1970s to the 1980s. The timepiece features a distinctive gold-toned, square-shaped 'cushion' case with rounded corners, a characteristic design element of the quartz revolution era. The dial is finished in a matching champagne or gold-toned sunburst pattern, featuring minimalist applied baton hour markers and simple two-hand (hours and minutes) movement, omitting a second hand for a cleaner aesthetic. The Omega Greek letter logo and name are visible below the 12 o'clock position. A highly notable feature of this specimen is the integrated 'beads of rice' style bracelet. The bracelet shows a two-tone aesthetic, where the central rows of beads appear to have significant wear to the gold plating, revealing a silvery base metal (likely stainless steel), which creates a mottled patina throughout the band. This wear is particularly heavy near the lugs and along the central links, indicating frequent use. In terms of condition, the crystal shows minor surface abrasions, and the case exhibits general scuffing consistent with age. The crown is original but small, recessed into the side of the case. The overall craftsmanship reflects Omega's mid-century luxury standards, though the visible loss of gold electroplating on the bracelet links is a primary condition issue that would impact its market value as a collector's piece.
