The cal. 600, 601, 611 and 613 are all derived from same basic movement. The 611 and 613 having the date upgrade.

Here is my Seamaster De Ville on what I believe to be the original bracelet. A beautiful, undervalued watch which is one of my favourites.

I do really like these bracelets. Is it a Shackman bracelet(DS&S)?

It's an Omega bracelet. I've never seen one before but the fit is so perfect I am sure it is original to the watch.

Thats correct, they are made for omega and have the omega logo, they are milanese bracelets made by a UK company called D. Shackman & Sons that also provided omega with cases. They are lovely quality.

Here’s a couple of examples:

Those aren't quite the same. The bracelet I have is actually an Omega Acierinox st-1505/1 no14. It has a microadjust clasp. There is actually one on ebay right now for £400 but its flat end whereas mine is curved to the case.

As regards the watch, unfortunately I can't just open it to get the ser no and verify the date of manufacture but I tell myself that this is my birth year watch. It's a keeper.
