Caseback having Seamaster although it says De Ville on the dial is quite strange.

I think it is a fake but its a pretty good one. That looks like a 7750 clone movement with convincing rotor engraving, if it is coaxial as stated it should instead be a 3313 or 3330 presumably both of which looks quite different. The dial text looks a bit off and as noted above the smoking gun is the Seamaster back on a DV. Though it must be said back in the day Omega had form for mixed branding. Not so much during the era this is supposedly from.

EDIT: it is a copy of model 4841.31.32 from circa 2005-2010 which had the 3313 movement. It's deffo fake.

Thanks, I tought I was way off thinking it was fake. Those indices are all over the place and that movement doesn`t look too Omegaish.
That JB welded spring bar is interesting!

You can use Google "image search" and find the original.
I have to say even the original doesn't look too good 😀

certainly not Omega's best effort indeed....

This is even worse, missing the numerals to quickly read the timing:

But, it's clearly VII +2 seconds on chronograph 😀

Off topic... just for reference what they created in 1968.

I recall you have one, don't you? 😉

Yes, clearly fake.
