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. 1969 OMEGA De Ville Mens Full Size Retro Day Date Watch - Stainless Steel Classic Retro Design - Gorgeous Original Condition - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this classic retro vintage Omega De Ville in gorgeous original condition. It has a pleasingly full size for the era 36mm case. Living up to its name as one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it has a classic stainless steel case, striking and clean silver dial, and automatic caliber 752 movement used in Seamasters from the era. It's monococque or one-piece case originally helped it achieve a greater level of water-resistance. The centerpiece of the watch is its awesome dimensional dial with wonderful raised faceted indices - it has a cool style and gives the watch a more monochromatic look. Powering the watch is Omega's caliber 752 movement with twenty-four jewels (seven more than in many Seamaster versions from the period), day of the week indication, and a quick-setting date. The 700 series has a direct lineage with the celebrated 500 series, and is arguably as good, and collectors are beginning to recognize it accordingly. It has a great retro style and presence on the wrist - it's not your run of the mill De Ville from the era. Omega used its brand new-at-the-time slim automatic winding system which allowed the movement to fit into an elegant rectangular watch without it becoming too bulky. It is all original down and presents as a 9.6 out of 10. Its case presents as mint. Its bezel has perfect facets and a wonderful soleil finish. On the wrist, it presents as gorgeous mint. Its dial is original and untouched, in mint condition. Its luminous has lightly toned nicely. A Master Watchmaker has disassembled it down to its last screw and overhauled it. It winds smoothly and is running strong and incredibly true, keeping time on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position. For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. A more than half-century old all-original Omega that looks like new on the wrist! Note: The watch's page on the Omega website can be found here.

Omega

It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. But the universal love for vintage Omega watches isn't confined to astronomers, and there’s more to the company’s heritage than the story of the Moonwatch.

The house’s origins date to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. His sons Louis-Paul and César took over after his death, and in 1894, the pair developed an intriguing new movement.

Not only was it highly accurate, but every part was replaceable, making it easy for any professional to service. The Brandts called their movement the Omega, and as its popularity spread, they changed their company’s name to that of its flagship product.

In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps designated Omega as an official supplier, and during World War II it became the principal watch supplier for the British forces and their allies. These commissions further strengthened Omega’s commitment to ensuring its products’ reliability under extreme conditions. In 1948, it launched the versatile Seamaster. Developed as a dive watch, the Seamaster proved its durability at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, as well. (Here is the 1stDibs guide to spotting a fake Omega Seamaster.)

Thanks in part to its rugged reputation and Omega’s links to the British military, it became James Bond’s watch of choice in 1995, appearing in GoldenEye and every succeeding Bond movie; it returned in 2021’s No Time to Die. Nevertheless, the most famous Omega by far is the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957. The first chronograph to display its tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial for easier readability, it was quickly adopted by engineers and scientists.

Worn by Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission, it’s the only watch certified by NASA for extravehicular activity (space walks) — and, as far as we know, the only one approved by the Russian space agency, too.

Watch aficionados and aficionadas alike can find vintage Omega watches today on 1stDibs.
