Vintage Omega De Ville Chronograph Champagne 146.017 - 35mm - 1969 + Box

A vintage Omega De Ville Chronograph produced in 1969, presented in incredible condition. The 35mm stainless steel case remains in excellent shape with sharp edges and barely any signs of wear, a true testament to how well this piece has been preserved over the decades.

The vertically brushed champagne dial is beautifully executed, featuring a tachymeter scale and a date window at 9 o’clock, alongside a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock and an additional register at 3 o’clock for the chronograph minutes. The harmonious combination of golden and black accents gives the dial a refined yet sporty appearance, perfectly balanced and highly characteristic of late 1960s design.

Inside sits the caliber 930 manual wind movement, offering a chronograph function operated by the pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock. The movement runs and functions as it should (Serviced, March 2026) delivering the engaging mechanical experience only a hand-wound chronograph can provide.

We have paired the watch with a brand new top grain brown leather strap with a crocodile motif and a light glossy finish. Additionally, the watch comes with its original black plain leather strap from Omega, the original vintage buckle, and even the original vintage box.

Already uncommon in its own right, the outstanding condition of this example elevates it to a level that can truly be considered rare. A remarkable collector’s piece and a standout addition to any serious vintage collection.
