Omega De Ville Automatic Gold Dial Date (1970) – Elegant Classic with Date Display

The Omega De Ville has always stood for subtle elegance in a compact format. This 1970 model with a gold dial and practical date display exemplifies this understated style – meticulously refurbished and with a reliably running automatic movement.

Elegant Dial, Well-Maintained Appearance

The gold dial with date window is in good, age-appropriate condition. The case, bezel, and movement have been high-gloss polished or professionally inspected and present a very well-maintained appearance, as does the acrylic crystal, which has been freshly polished. The look is complemented by a new leather strap and a "like-new" condition strap. An important note on functionality: The quickset for the date display is defective, but the date can be easily set using the 24-hour hand. Apart from this detail, the watch is fully functional and runs reliably.

A Reliable Automatic Movement

This De Ville is powered by the Omega Caliber 565 – a reliable automatic movement with a power reserve of 50 hours according to the manufacturer. The movement has been freshly regulated; the measured values are convincing:

• Rate Deviation: +1 second/day
• Amplitude: 260°
• Beat Error: 0.7 ms

A rate deviation of only +1 second per day shows that the core of the movement runs cleanly and precisely – the defective quickset mechanism specifically affects the date quick-setting, not the actual accuracy.
