For sale is a lovely Omega De Ville reference 145.017 with 860 calibre movement. I picked this watch up in the summer, but it's not getting worn, so time to sell. The price is £2900.

The 35mm case does wear bigger due to the pushers, and it is very comfortable on the wrist. The watch runs well and all functions work perfectly, chrono starts, stops and resets. Service history is unknown so I cannot guarantee it is still waterproof, and would suggest a service if it is to be a daily wearer. The dial is in great condition with small tritium hours plots. The case may have seen a polish but retains it's shape well and is without scratches and dings. The movement is extremely clean and all parts are original to the watch, as far as I am aware. Please use the pictures below as these form part of the description.

The details are as follows:
Maker: Omega, Model: DeVille, Reference: 145.017
Year: Circa 1968, Movement No: 27712469
Material: Stainless steel, Dimensions: 35mm diameter/12mm thickness
Crystal: Plexiglass, Lume: Tritium
Caliber: Omega caliber 860 manual-winding movement, Lug Width: 18mm
Strap: Brand new hand made black leather rally strap.

The recent sales of 145.017 I have seen were Hodinkee @ $4800, and WOK (November lot 212) at £3100 inc fees.

This is priced at £2900, bank transfer or Paypal Friends, +4% otherwise.
The watch is based in the UK so UK/Europe shipping +£30, ROW +£75 with DHL Express.
If not accurately described, the watch can be returned within 48hrs.
Buyer pays shipping.

Thank you.

I agree. For the 20 people who join the forum every week asking about some black redial on Ebay.... This watch is for you.
