Identification & Valuation Request: Vintage OMEGA De Ville Automatic Square Day-Date with Integral Mesh Bracelet

Hello everyone,

I am requesting the community's help to identify the exact reference and calibre (movement) of this vintage OMEGA De Ville.

Confirmed Characteristics:

Material: Solid 18 Karat Gold (18K) in both the case and the integral mesh bracelet.

Total Weight: 92.2 grams (including movement and crystal).

Movement: Automatic (Mechanical).

Model: OMEGA De Ville Day-Date, square/rectangular case, with an integral mesh bracelet.

Condition: Needs machinery cleaning/service.

Information I am seeking:

Reference and Calibre (likely from the 1970s–1980s).

Market Valuation Range for this specific piece, considering it is an 18K gold automatic with this significant weight.

Any data or lead would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Greetings again! On this one I'd really take to a watchmaker, if you are wanting valuation services. They can remove the movement and get an exact weight for gold. I assume it is gold. Then you will know.

Very cool watch I think! Sometimes these are called geezer watches but I still like them.

👍

I saw your post in the UG forum. You should know that not all watches are collectable. Sone may be fine time pieces if maintained, but for one reason or another, are not in style, currently. So their value to collectors is low. However the recent surge in gold price makes any solid gold watch worth at least its melt value, and add in a bracelet, you are looking at real money a jeweler would give you. Far more than any collector would.

If you want to save this from the melt pile, you will need to list it and hope someone buys it, or just keep it.

It is possible by the way, looking long term, that so many of these will be melted, that they become rare, and their intrinsic value overtakes the melt value. If gold keeps going up in price, even likely.
