This is the very essence of Omega's refined De Ville collection, designed to be the sophisticated, anti-sports counterpoint to the Speedmaster. This gold-plated quartz model, likely housing the Omega Caliber 1365, delivers the utmost in practical, daily elegance. Your customer needs to appreciate the technical commitment here: this quartz movement provides exceptional, grab-and-go accuracy that was a hallmark of Omega’s pursuit of chronometry, even in the electronic era.
The design is a gorgeous nod to the 1970s and 80s: the elongated tonneau or cushion-shaped case is distinct and luxurious, perfectly framing the beautiful checkerboard/linen-textured gold-toned dial. The applied baton indices and slender hands maximize legibility and sophistication. The absence of a traditional winding crown (or the use of a simple push-button stem) is typical of early high-end quartz movements like the Cal. 1365, further emphasizing its advanced, clean aesthetic.
The caseback confirms the watch uses the Quartz Caliber 1365 and bears a 7-digit movement serial number (80220719, which, while usually a case reference in later models, helps identify the specific component batch). This watch is the perfect choice for the collector who values timeless Swiss design, reliable performance, and the subtle luxury of an elegant Omega dress piece.
