Omega De Ville Dress Watch, 1970s
Ref. 111 0140 · Calibre Omega 620Condition — Unpolished gold-plated case with light brassing, original dial with even cream patina
Provenance — Privately bought and privately sold, the way the whole collection runs.
What sold me on this particular De Ville is the case back: it's stamped with the gold-fill specification, "fond acier inoxydable," so I know exactly what I'm looking at rather than guessing. The dial is a warm champagne with applied baton indices and slim dauphine hands, still legible and even, with the DeVille signature sitting cleanly above "Swiss Made." Case wear is consistent with genuine use — brassing shows through at the case back edges and the crown guard has a small nick, while the crystal and lugs have held their lines well. Opening it up, the 620 automatic movement is clean, with the rotor and jewels visible and no obvious corrosion around the balance. I'd point this one toward a buyer who wants a period-correct 1970s dress watch to wear rather than shelve, and who doesn't mind a case that shows its age instead of pretending it doesn't.
Buying from a stranger, in short. Every fault I know of is in the listing, and if you find one I missed, the return stands. Take the watch to a watchmaker of your choosing before you pay — I have never once objected. Fourteen days to send it back, for any reason at all.
Privatverkauf. Everything described above — case, dial, hands, lume, rate and service history — is agreed condition for this watch and I stand behind all of it. Beyond that, the watch is sold excluding liability for material defects, as is normal between private individuals for a vintage mechanical object of this age. That exclusion does not cover anything I have misdescribed or failed to disclose, and never covers injury or intent.
Fourteen days to return it for any reason — my own promise, not a statutory withdrawal right. Terms · How I describe condition
