    I have an opportunity to purchase this watch and I can't find a thing about it or a picture like it anywhere. I love the look and size. Face about the size of a quarter. Its unused and I am told it is from late 1990s and was offered for only 3 years. Can anyone share more details? I appreciate your knowledge, guidance and opinion! Thank you!

    If you could get pictures of the inside, it would help.

    Could be a fake. Be careful.

    How much is it ?
    Best help will be what you should pay.

    Model number is inside caseback.

    Omega made a lot of ladies watches over the years. Hard to find amongst them all.

    Get them to open it before you buy it. Ladies watches are quite cheap and i would be looking for a nice automatic for that price and not a quartz.

    The Constellation caseback but no Constellation on the dial?

    It's earlier than the late 90s and comes from a time when Omega was doing some strange stuff.

    The only way to be sure is to have the case opened and take good clear pics of the movement and the marks on the inside of the caseback.

    That's what I was wondering? Does/did Omega have "unmarked" dials not referencing the model? I saw the constellation mark on case back but wasn't sure if it meant constellation exclusively, etc. So earlier than late 90s? I appreciate the feedback.
    Thank you.

    I couldn't find it in AJTT... The dual diamonds at 12 & 6 are very strange from looking at all the others with diamonds. Also, no model name on the dial, just "Quartz" is quite different.

    Crown and integrated bracelet style screams Deville to me, not constellation... I would want to see inside the caseback to verify it is marked correctly and had an Omega Branded movement for 300.... Then again that time period and womens sized... who knows...

    EDIT
    After some searching.... https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-de-ville-classic-97-7374-31-00

    Looks very similar from the Deville line, which might be what the one you are looking at could be a fake of. I just cannot imagine any Constellation ( the top tier) would have have bracelet integration that poor.

    Stylistically a mid 80s De Ville is my guess too.

    I suspect a fake but only validation will tell.
