Vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville Gold Plated Champagne on BOR 166.020 - 34,5mm - 1966

This vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville Automatic, produced in 1966, presents itself in remarkable condition. The watch is fully gold-colored, featuring a champagne-gold vertical brushed dial that remains in like new mint condition, completely free of imperfections.

The dial is detailed with tritium-filled hands and sandwich hour markers accented by black lacquer centers. Both the applied Omega logo and the date window frame are finished in gold. The front of the case is also golden, while the caseback is steel, as the watch is gold plated.

Inside, it houses the reliable caliber 562 automatic movement, freshly serviced in August 2025, running and functioning perfectly. Adding to its rarity is the presence of the original Omega “Beads of Rice” bracelet, also gold plated. We also had the bracelet ultrasonically cleaned. Unlike most examples where plating shows significant wear, this bracelet and the case plating remain exceptionally well preserved, with no steel exposed anywhere on the outside surfaces.

Overall, the condition, originality, and completeness of this piece are outstanding—qualities highly sought after by collectors. A truly elegant and rare vintage dress watch.
