Description

An extremely rare De Ville Chronograph by Omega, a true classic with black/grey dial, all original hands, and case in great condition. Reference number 145.017, serial number 27742575, dating it to 1968. The dial is simple and elegant with a soft matte finish, bevelled, polished chrome hour batons, and at the 3 and 9 hour marks, two sunken subdials for the 30 minute register and the seconds hand respectively, which sit seamlessly in the dial, with the seconds hand through the centre being the stopwatch hand. The watch comes on a grey/brown leather strap with a distressed effect, which suits the case and dial well, especially with the nice patina on the hands and indices. The original, manually wound calibre 860 movement, which is the two subdial version of the 861, runs smoothly and keeps accurate time, with the chronograph functions resetting sharply, and can be both started and stopped by the upper pusher and reset via the lower pusher. It is currently receiving a full service and a clean and polish of the case, the pictures shown are pre-restoration, more pictures to follow! The case measures 40mm in length from the lugs, 35mm in diameter not including the crown or pushers (38mm including), 19mm between the lugs, and 12mm in depth.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Keep the movement serviced by a professional horologist every few years, avoid exposure to moisture unless water resistance is officially certified, and store it in a dry environment.

A classic vintage watch pairs well with tailored formalwear or smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point that adds historical character to contemporary outfits.

Authenticity is verified by checking the serial number engraved on the movement or inside the caseback, alongside hallmarks matching official manufacturer records from that production year.

These timepieces typically feature stainless steel or gold cases, acrylic crystals, genuine leather straps, and intricate brass mechanical movements.

Introduced in the 1960s, the De Ville line originated as a sub-category of the Seamaster before becoming a distinct collection known for its refined elegance and classic aesthetic.
