FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE OMEGA SEAMASTER AUTOMATIC DEVILLE WITH RALLY DIAL AND SOLID GOLD CAP OVER STEEL CASE.
-
CASE: HANDSOME AND CLASSIC SOLID STEEL CASE WITH SOLID GOLD CAP MEASURING IN AT 34.3mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. JUST A CLASSIC SEAMASTER WITH THE HIPPOCAMPUS ON THE CASEBACK. THIS WEARS MORE LIKE A SOLID 35mm WITH THAT THIN BEZEL AND WIDER DIAL.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL IS SERIOUSLY SLICK AND AS RARE AS THEY COME. YOU’VE GOT YOUR CLASSIC SEAMASTER DEVILLE DIAL LAYOUT WITH A LOVELY CHAMPAGNE SUNBURST FINISH AND APPLIED BLACK/GOLD ACCENTS. WHAT SETS THIS APART FROM YOUR TYPICAL DEVILLE IS THAT CHECKED RALLY TREATMENT THAT RUNS THE PERIMETER OF THE DIAL. THIS MAKES FOR A VERY BOLD DESIGN!
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED SEAMASTER RUNS ON A CLEAN IN-HOUSE 24J OMEGA CAL.565 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN KEEPING GOOD TIME AND WINDING EFFORTLESSLY. QUICKSET IS ACHIEVED BY PULLING OUT THE CROWN TO ADVANCE THE DATE. THIS ONE HAS BEEN SERVICED IN THE LAST 3 YEARS AND TIME-KEEPING IS SPOT-ON WITH REALLY STRONG AMPLITUDE ON THE TIMEGRAPHER.
THIS SEAMASTER COMES MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE BLACK GENUINE LIZARD STRAP WHICH LOOKS ULTRA WICKED ON THIS GENTLEMAN. THE LATE 60s AND EARLY 70s SAW OMEGA USE THIS RALLY TREATMENT DIAL DESIGN MOST NOTABLY ON THE 1970 “RACING” SPEEDMASTER ALONG WITH THE OMEGA DYNAMIC. I’VE ONLY SEEN 1 OTHER DEVILLE WITH THIS DESIGN MOTIF, SO MY GUESS IS THESE WERE MADE IN VERY LOW NUMBERS. THIS ONE REALLY MAKES A STATEMENT AND IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY OMEGA COLLECTOR!
