The "Omega De Ville" that arrived today features a rare full-Arabic numeral printed dial.
This is a rare design for a De Ville, which typically features bar or Roman numeral indices.
This is a dial design that is relatively common to see in Geneva.
The Breguet numeral indices give it a strong vintage feel, while
the charming typeface of the indices is a design that many people will come to love.
This piece was manufactured in 1974, more than half a century ago,
and it is truly impressive that such a memorable watch design existed back then.
Most indices are bar indices,
and they remain a mainstream design today because they were designed to make the time easy for anyone in the world to read.
Roman and Arabic numerals are less familiar in some regions,
and in Japan, Roman numerals are somewhat less familiar, while Arabic numerals are more common.
Taking these points into account, it is appealing not only as a watch design,
but also as a practical timepiece.
Based on the condition of the case, this particular piece appears to have been a display model.
Although it shows no signs of everyday wear, it has minor scratches and light dents,
indicating that it has been tried on.
It was likely used as a store display model and never sold,
and we believe it is a new old stock piece that has remained in storage until today.
Even so, it is remarkable that it remains in such excellent condition,
despite having been manufactured over 50 years ago.
The case features a rare oval shape.
It is a unique and elegant piece, true to the De Ville, which offers a wide variety of designs even down to the millimeter.
It pairs exceptionally well with the dial and has a true dress watch feel,
while also possessing a charm that will make you want to wear it every day.
Furthermore, Omega manual-wind watches from this era are easy to maintain,
and their long-lasting reliability is another point not to be overlooked.
A wonderful watch in such excellent condition is truly rare.
This is a design that is very difficult to come by,
so do not miss this opportunity!
