About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1964 Omega Vintage Mens Cal. 560 Stainless Steel Watch, Automatic, Date - Rare Only 3000 Made Rare Movement: Only 3,000 Made - Original - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this rare, classic and pleasing Seamaster De Ville with rare caliber 560 movement of which only 3,000 examples were made. These movements were split across nine models, making each in effect a "limited edition." The 560 was a movement made only for the U.S. market to cut down on import tariffs. It has a water-resistant style case with screw back and timeless silver dial. Its wide hands and markers give it a slightly retro style. This model was almost always branded Geneve on the dial. This is the uncommon version that doesn't have a model name on the dial. It is full size for a vintage watch, measuring 35mm in diameter, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust. It was presumably a corporate gift for 30 years of dedicated service. This classic example has original parts down to the dial and hands. It's very honest, appearing to have had little or no polishing and never having any parts replaced except for the crown. Please inquire if you would like an Omega crown installed. The case presents nicely with strong lines. It is very honest - it has never been polished at all. The back has a few light hairlines from previous opening. A light polish could make it present close to the mint. On the wrist it presents in excellent condition with only light wear. Its silver dial is original and in excellent condition with only light aging. It has a toned sepia color, giving it a true vintage look - it is slightly more sepia tone than the photos seem to suggest. One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled the movement down to the last screw and fully serviced it including tightening the cannon pinion. It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position. For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a vintage styled Connoisseur of Time leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. We also stock lizard and a variety of other straps in various prints, skins, and colors. Please ask us if you're interested. 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. Note: Published examples of similar watches can be found in Marco Richon's work Omega: A Journey Through Time, 2007, pg. 403. For further reading on the caliber 560 visit our friend Desmond Guilfoyle's Omega collector's blog. The model's page on the Omega website can be found here. 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.

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers via other online sites with a 5.0 star rating. 1971 OMEGA DYNAMIC Vintage Mens First Generation Cal. 565 Watch with Quick-Setting Date - Stainless Steel Gorgeous Original Condition - Interesting & Distinctive - 1 Year Warranty Created in 1967 by Omega's sales director Robert Forster, the Dynamic is an iconic example of a true retro style. The clean and functional watch, a considerable success for Omega, possessed a number of designed elements that made it stand out: An ellipse shape with recessed crown determined to be the best geometric shape for the wrist, determined after extensive study Easy to read two-tone dial with "time zone" sections. Unicoc case with hermetically sealed crystal water-resistant to a depth of 30m. Available with a stainless steel bracelet or easily interchangeable water-resistant Cor-fam straps According to an Omega advertisement at the time, "The shape of the Omega Dynamic was determined by the anatomy of your wrist; its dial by the workings of your eyes; it strap by the physiology of your skin." Today's offering showcases this first edition Dynamic in gorgeous all-original condition. The first generation of the watch lasted only from 1968 until 1970. As one of the early Dynamics, before Omega switched to using the 1000 series movements for the line, it is powered by Omega's high-grade caliber 565. Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, was the top-tier offering of the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is arguably the finest mass-produced automatic movement from era. It is all-original and presents in gorgeous condition. Its case presents as mint. The stamping on the back is still perfectly crisp. Its fabulous two-tone Omega sector dial...
