* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What movement is inside this Omega De Ville and what is the power reserve? A: This model uses Omega’s Co‑Axial automatic calibre 2500, chronometer‑certified. The typical power reserve is around 48 hours.
Q: Is it safe to swim or shower with this watch? A: As a dress watch from this era, factory water resistance varies by reference within the De Ville case family. Because this is a pre‑owned piece from 2006, water resistance is not guaranteed. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless the watch has recently passed a professional pressure test; Omega advises having water resistance checked annually.
Q: What are the benefits of the Co‑Axial escapement in daily use? A: The Co‑Axial escapement reduces friction in the movement, which helps the watch maintain accuracy for longer, requires less lubrication, and can extend the interval between full services compared with traditional lever escapements.
Q: How often should I service this watch? A: Omega recommends a complete service every 5–8 years at an authorised service centre, with an annual water‑resistance check. Actual timing depends on usage and environment.
Q: What wrist size will the bracelet fit, and can it be adjusted? A: This bracelet is currently sized to fit up to an 18 cm wrist. It can be adjusted by adding or removing links. If you need extra length, genuine Omega links for this bracelet style can usually be sourced; please contact us for guidance before purchase.
Q: What is the case size and lug width? Can I fit a leather strap? A: The case measures approximately 38 mm as listed. This De Ville case family uses 19 mm lugs, so it can accept most quality 19 mm leather straps if you prefer a classic look.
Q: What accuracy should I expect? A: As a COSC chronometer, the original specification targets precision of roughly −4 to +6 seconds per day under test conditions. Actual performance can vary with age and service history.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this watch, that is the certificate and cards. If an item such as the original box or additional links is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What are the year and serial details? A: This piece dates to 2006 and carries serial number 80404174, as noted on the listing and documentation.
