Very Rare 1971 Steel & Gold Capped Omega De Ville Chronograph 146.017 Gents Vintage Watch. This is a beautiful and original example of the very rare right hand date Omega De Ville chronograph from 1971. The steel and heavily gold plated (20 microns) case is in overall excellent condition with only minor signs of wear. The original Omega signed steel pearlescent dial is untouched and again in excellent condition with only minor signs of patina.

To complete this stunning piece we’ve added a new, super high quality black Hirsch’London’ alligator strap with gold plated Hirsch buckle.
