·Hey there, I'm a neophyte when it comes to watches, and even more so with Omegas.
My 82 year old mother gave me this Deville recently, she was convinced it was my father's. Judging by the size of the band, there is no way he ever wore it after the age of 16 or so.
I'm not even sure if its a men's watch or women's but I guess during the period men's watches were a smaller affair?
In any case there are no markings on the back of the case I've only ever seen 1 other photo of a similar square Deville Automatic (is that the full model?) with similar straps but the clasp was not 'striped' like this and the Omega symbol was centered vs offset. Maybe that was a yearly/period variation?
Any help identifying the model, year, an approximate value would be greatly appreciated. If it helps its likely ot was acquired in the 60's/early 70s either in NYC or Paris. I'm thinking it most likely belonged to one of my grandparents.
Thank you in advance.
