The watch has been in our family as long as my mom can remember (40 years or so). It looks like a De Ville, but I cannot find any on Google images that are an exact match. Can anyone here help?

Thanks!
Anthony

It's a generic (no series name, as in Seamaster or Geneve) manual wind from the 60's judging by the bezel and dial pattern.

If you pop the case back you will find the reference on the inside . Let us see the movement .

It's a front loader so you'll need to see the watch guy to have a look

It's indeed a one shell case.

I reckon it will look a helluva lot better if you polywatch that crystal and attach a nice strap to it.

Nice watch!

I think it belongs in the series "Omega Slim" from the early to mid sixties.

This is close but lacks the subsecond and does not have the same textured dial.

I think it's a snap back . Not a front loader . It's gold . 18K or 14K . Looking very much like this http://timerecs.com/inf/37519-vintage_omega_ultra_slim_14k_solid_yellow_gold_mens_watch.html
