Omega Electronic f300Hz De Ville Chronometer Blue Dial 198.0019

This is an uncommon (I don't know if they're rare, but I've not seen that many compared to other f300Hz models) Omega Electronic f300Hz De Ville Chronometer reference 198.0019, with stainless steel case and blue dial with applied markers.

I bought this watch in December 2020 from the grandson of the original owner, he had sent it to Electric Watches in 2019 as a non runner, where it received a service and a new date wheel - I do not have paperwork for this service (anyone who's used EW knows that he doesn't work that way...) but it is now running, and the date changes smoothly... so something's been done in the last few years, I just can't prove it.

I have replaced the battery with a new Renata and over 24 hours it's keeping good time.

This is possibly the chunkiest of the f300Hz models - 36mm wide, 42mm top to bottom, and 13mm thick at the deepest point - however it keeps the same 20mm lug width found across the range.

Crystal is an original Omega one with logo, crown is the original/a correct replacement.

Asking for £650 plus postage.

Watch is based in London, UK.

A week with no nibbles tells me this is either too weird for this crowd, or I’m asking too much.

Given the fondness for weirdness around here, I think it’s more likely that I’m asking too much.

£500 plus shipping/postage puts it on your wrist. 👍
