This 1973 men’s Omega De Ville automatic has some patina that gives it an unique look and keeps the price low. Model reference 165.753.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1973.
CONDITION
Some people like patina, others don’t. If you like it then the good news is this watch is cheaper than if the dial was perfectly clean. The patina is mainly around the outside of the dial, but the dial is original. One place where patina is not acceptable is on the movement, and this Omega copper coloured calibre 1012 is clean, and the hacking feature is still working correctly. The stainless steel case isn’t stamped Omega but does have two model numbers stamped inside it – the other is 167.754, which was an Omega Constellation chronometer which also used the same case. The crown is stamped Omega. The strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred. The buckle doesn’t look original.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
