Omega
For sale is a vintage Swiss Made Omega De Ville men's watch with reference number 396.1016, dating back to the mid 1980s. It was launched as part of Omega's International Collection, where it was dubbed the "Symbol" due to the intriguing Yin and Yang symbol on the dial and Omega symbol at the end of the hands. The 32mm case measures just about 5.5mm in thickness, and features a solid gold bezel. The watch comes with an integrated bracelet with signed Omega clasp (Ref. 1449/432). Behind the sapphire crystal sits a silver and gold tone sunburst dial with Yin and Yang symbol, a somewhat rare and intriguing design. The hands are equally as intriguing, featuring a stylised Omega logo at the end. A calendar window can be found at te 6 O'clock position. It can be quickly adjusted using the crown, which is original and bears the Omega logo.
The watch is powered by a high quality Omega 1436 quartz calibre with 6 jewels. It is based on the ETA 255.441 movement, which allows the watch case to be as slender as it is. The integrated bracelet currently fits wrists with a maximum circumference of around 18cm. Decreasing the size is easily done by removing some bracelet links. To increase the size past the current maximum, extra links will have to be sourced online.
The example sold here has been worn, but is still in good condition. You will find wear marks on the case and bracelet when closely examining the watch, but no coarse damage. The crystal is free from scratches. The dial has developed some minor specks, but has otherwise aged nicely. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch was checked, received a new battery and is accurately keeping time. Comes as a watch only, sadly no original box or paperwork are present.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
