An Omega De Ville Co-Axial in steel and yellow gold, with a gold-coloured dial, diamond hour markers, Roman numerals, a date window and an automatic movement.

The Piece

Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and the De Ville is its line of dress watches.

The case is 37 mm, with a smooth yellow gold bezel and a steel and gold bracelet with a folding clasp bearing the Omega emblem. The gold-coloured dial is signed Omega De Ville and Co-Axial Chronometer, with diamond hour markers, Roman numerals, slim hands and a date window at three. The case back is solid and engraved Omega.

The watch is in very good order. Its previous owner finds the crystal, dial and hands clean, with only slight scratches on the case, bezel and bracelet, and on a flat timegrapher test it gains about 11 seconds a day, which is offered as a rough guide only. The wrist circumference is about 16 cm with no spare links. The warranty card is dated October 2017, and the last photograph shows it with the precious stones certificate and pictograms card.
