Will (reluctantly) put up for sale a few more pieces from my collection. I offer for sale an Omega Deville (De Ville) Hour Vision Orbis special Edition equipped with the 8500 movement. Reference number is 431.33.41.21.03.001 This is the blue dialed special version variant of the Hour Vision, originally promoted as part of their collaboration with Orbis, the Flying Eye hospital. Comes on the original Omega alligator strap, with the original Omega deployant. Short story - got this watch in late 2015, being in a "blue dial" period of my watch collecting. Loving it still, even if it's an "underdog" sort to say. Got the blue dialed Globemaster in 2016, so wore this one less. Had it serviced in October 2016 at my very reliable watchmaker (just after the DeVille chrono that I also offered for sale), got the service papers available. Watch was running nicely, but needed a new crystal as the one it had installed had a nasty scratch on the outer coating and I didn't want it removed. So I've spent 170 euro or something close for an original Omega crystal (see the thread I've started here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/sourcing-modern-omega-parts-some-questions.37487/). Movement was inspected and serviced, no inner parts needed change. I've done it just to rest assure that nothing was amiss, considering the bezel was scratched. Description of the watch Case: 41 mm excluding crown, the special Hour Vision steel-and-sapphire. The 20 mm lug size make it quite versatile and I wore it on a variety of straps. Never polished while in my possession. Has swirls, scratches and maybe dings (can't really be seen with the naked eye, but the top right lug has some - check the photos; also a small one on the top left lug's side; more may be hinding in plain sight ). The inside of the lugs have some scratches from clumsy strap changes (not mine!). Serial perfectly visible. Caseback: see-through sapphire crystal. The metal part shows some scratches, dings and swirls. Inscriptions are very crisp. Sapphire: original, flawless from what I can see. Replaced with the original Omega part during the October 2016 service, at my watchmaker that was able to source the part (part number 062SB3076, as Archer most graciously told me at the time). Dial: impeccable, stunning blue dial. Excellent readability, one of the most intriguing designs Omega came up with, love it or hate it. Applied hour markers/logo and all inscriptions are, of course, flawless. Hands: in great shape, can't find any flaws upon normal inspection. The Omega website states they are white gold. Crown: original and working, with normal signs of use. Movement: It houses the reliable Omega 8500 caliber. I never experienced issues with it and had it serviced at my trusted watchmaker (October 2016, papers available) simply as it had no known service history and came with the scratched crystal. No parts were changed. Please note: I don't care if it's outside chronometer ratings while wearing it. I rarely time my watches, and don't ever rely on a mechanical watch for to-the-second timekeeping. Got too many at the moment to keep tabs. I've put it on my vibrograph and took a picture of how it performs now, dial-up, while in my possession, before shipping. It showed +4 seconds. Can't and won't guarantee that it will work inside the same parameters on your wrist. Strap: Original Omega strap with normal signs of wear on the inside (I'd say minimal, even). Wore it for a long time on a brown Bellini strap, so this one is still in more than decent shape. Its reference is 98000215. The original Omega clasp came with the watch and works just fine. Box/Papers: No, this is how I've got it. ----------------------------------------- Price: [reduced] EUR 2500. EU sale only, shipping by TNT included. Bank transfer only. Will ship once funds clear.

I am a buyer/seller on Ebay under the same username since September 2000 and have 100% positive feedback with over 717 transactions (close to 1600 individual transactions) and many watches shipped to multiple locations (USA, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands etc.).

Also sold twice on Breitlingsource and once on UhrForum.de (where I've also purchased some stuff).
