The Omega De Ville reference 161.024 is a refined model, embodying the watchmaking elegance of the 1960s. Crafted in 18-carat yellow gold (750 ‰), this watch displays a classic design with its round case, enhanced by subtle faceted lugs, giving it a distinguished and discreetly crafted look.
Its sunburst silver dial catches the light with brilliance and offers perfect readability thanks to its applied baton markers and gold hands. The Omega-signed winding crown is harmoniously integrated into the case, adding to the model's understated elegance.
Powered by an automatic movement, Omega caliber 711, fully serviced by one of our experienced watchmakers, this watch embodies the precision and know-how of the prestigious Swiss manufacturer. It comes with its original brown leather strap, signed Omega, and its gold-plated Omega pin buckle.
Produced in 1968 and originally delivered on April 25, 1974 in Greece as indicated by the original invoice that still accompanies it, 50 years after its initial sale, this watch is exceptionally well preserved, having notably never been polished and probably extremely little worn. A precious and timeless piece, ideal for lovers of classic and elegant watches.
