Help me identify this Omega Deville

Hello,

So here is a bit of a mystery. I have received an Omega Deville without any documentation and a possibly mismatched caseback. The only thing I know for certain is that it's genuine. Its currently in a unofficial repair shop for a small repair so no more photos at the moment.

ChatGPT has identified it as 4810.xx.xx or 424.xx.xx. However, the caseback sais 166.1108 (would it even fit a much newer watch?) which is associated with much older models, from 1960-70. Also the watch looks like a Deville from 1990-2000, not 1960-70.

Could anybody help me make sense of it?

Not sure where you looked up the case number, but when I do I get a hit for exactly what that looks like, that is to say an Omega DeVille Prestige from the late 90s early 2000s. Despite Omega moving over to a system of PIC codes to identify their models in teh late 1980s, Omega models still show case numbers on the inside and until fairly recently still used the XXX.YYYY MAPICS system coding.

I called the repair shop and they had a look, he mentioned that he was going to open the watch. Is it unlikely that a 30 year older caseback fits a watch from the 1990-2000?

So newer watches displays the number on the outside of the caseback and older watches on the inside?

This is so strange, I could have sworn I saw the number on the outside of the caseback in January (I kinda left it at the shops since..).

The number on the outside is the serial number. That’s seen on both movement and lug or caseback on Omegas since around 1990. The case number 166.1108 is only seen stamped on the inside of the caseback which hasn’t been changed, that number is correct for that watch.

I understand, thanks for explaining. So I should ask for the serial number which should be on the outside of the caseback?
