Here is a stunning, all original Omega De Ville Prestige Chronometer from 1999. The silver dial is in minty condition, with a ribbed sunburst design, a black print Omega logo and lettering and barely any marks. It has elegant Arabic numerals at the poles and strip steel hour markers in between. The skeletonized dauphine hands are in excellent condition. The trapezoid window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The stainless steel bezel is in fine condition with some overall wear, such as at around 2, 7 and 11 o’clock. The stainless steel tonneau case with the original crown and straight lugs is in very fine condition with only light overall wear, mostly at the lugs. The stainless steel case back is in very fine condition, with a brushed center and polished slopes and a few marks at the top. It carries the inscription “Omega”. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original bracelet is in very fine condition, with little stretching and only light overall wear. It is big enough for large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult.

Inside the watch, Omega’s high grade 1120 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in May 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The De Ville Prestige series is a fabulously elegant line of watches, with uncluttered and elegant dials. This is a watch that goes well with both formal and more casual wear and it will get you a lot of compliments.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
