This square ladies Omega de Ville has a manual wind movement and is larger than most ladies watches. Model reference 511.0504.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1978.
CONDITION
Square cases always wear larger than round cases, as the corner mean the watch covers more wrist than a round case. Where this is a benefit is when traditional ladies cocktail watches are too small to read easily. You could even argue this was a Unisex watch, but the Omega reference number starting with 5 means it was designed as a ladies watch. This ladies De Ville has the manual wind Omega calibre 625, a seventeen jewel movement that will obviously never require any batteries. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred. The strap photographed is slightly too small, but we swapped it to a near match 19mm strap before taking the video to fill the lugs correctly. The case is in very nice order, and it is slim, The 20 micron gold plating has stood up really well, and the glass only has the most minor marks too. The crown is set with a black cabochon polished stone, possibly Onyx.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
