1969 OMEGA DE VILLE Vintage Mens Cal. 565 Automatic Blue Vignette Dial Watch - Stainless Steel
Gorgeous Restored Condition - 1 Year Warranty - 100% Feedback
Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage De Ville watches.
Living up to its name as one of the elegant and sophisticated "De Ville" models, it has a pleasing case and royal blue vignette dial.
It circa dates to 1969 where it might have laid next to the Speedmaster Professional that would be headed to the Moon.
Its monococque - or one-piece - Omega case, which achieved new high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back measures 34mm in diameter - the same size as a Rolex Date model.
Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement used in Seamasters from the era, the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. With 24 jewels and a quick-setting date, it was the top-tier offering of the famous 500 series and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from the era.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.5 out of 10.
Its case presents as mint with fairly mild to moderate signs of previous polishing. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. On the wrist, the watch presents as mint.
As part of the restoration, the movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It continues to run very strongly, keeping very accurate time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, a new leather calfskin strap with aftermarket Omega style logo has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
A five and a half decade old Omega that presents like new on the wrist!

Omega
It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. But the universal love for vintage Omega watches isn't confined to astronomers, and there’s more to the company’s heritage than the story of the Moonwatch.
The house’s origins date to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. His sons Louis-Paul and César took over after his death, and in 1894, the pair developed an intriguing new movement.
Not only was it highly accurate, but every part was replaceable, making it easy for any professional to service. The Brandts called their movement the Omega, and as its popularity spread, they changed their company’s name to that of its flagship product.
In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps designated Omega as an official supplier, and during World War II it became the principal watch supplier for the British forces and their allies. These commissions further strengthened Omega’s commitment to ensuring its products’ reliability under extreme conditions. In 1948, it launched the versatile Seamaster. Developed as a dive watch, the Seamaster proved its durability at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, as well. (Here is the 1stDibs guide to spotting a fake Omega Seamaster.)
Thanks in part to its rugged reputation and Omega’s links to the British military, it became James Bond’s watch of choice in 1995, appearing in GoldenEye and every succeeding Bond movie; it returned in 2021’s No Time to Die. Nevertheless, the most famous Omega by far is the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957. The first chronograph to display its tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial for easier readability, it was quickly adopted by engineers and scientists.
Worn by Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission, it’s the only watch certified by NASA for extravehicular activity (space walks) — and, as far as we know, the only one approved by the Russian space agency, too.
Watch aficionados and aficionadas alike can find vintage Omega watches today on 1stDibs.

1968 OMEGA DYNAMIC Vintage Mens First Generation Cal. 565 Watch with Quick-Setting Date - Stainless Steel
Gorgeous Original Condition - Interesting & Distinctive - 1 Year Warranty
Created in 1967 by Omega's sales director Robert Forster, the Dynamic is an iconic example of a true retro style. The clean and functional watch, a considerable success for Omega, possessed a number of designed elements that made it stand out:
An ellipse shape with recessed crown determined to be the best geometric shape for the wrist, determined after extensive study
Unicoc case with hermetically sealed crystal water-resistant to a depth of 30m.
Available with a stainless steel bracelet or easily interchangeable water-resistant Cor-fam straps
According to an Omega advertisement at the time, "The shape of the Omega Dynamic was determined by the anatomy of your wrist; its dial by the workings of your eyes; it strap by the physiology of your skin."
Today's offering showcases this first edition Dynamic in gorgeous all-original condition. The first generation of the watch lasted only from 1968 until 1970.
It has an awesome untouched two-tone sector dial.
As one of the early Dynamics, before Omega switched to using the 1000 series movements for the line, it is powered by Omega's high-grade caliber 565.
Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, was the top-tier offering of the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is arguably the finest mass-produced automatic movement from era.
It is all-original and presents in gorgeous condition. Its case presents as mint. The stamping on the back is still perfectly crisp.
Its fabulous two-tone Omega sector dial...
