166.155 Omega DeVille with UFO style case, 38mm so quite large, with Cal 1481 and on bracelet. Quite cheap at 250 quid with no bids. I’m writing about these atm so should have an article finished before long.

I was curious about this: could this be a French-cased watch with a solid gold case? I was comparing some of the markings on the case with the article here (http://omega-constellation-collecto...8/a-french-omega-constellation-2648-seen.html). If it is French, is it correct for the dial to read 'Swiss made'?

Note the small marking on the base of the observatory on the outside case back, that's possibly a hallmark:

The style of Omega logo inside the caseback and the diamond-shape maker's mark (?) are similar to the French example in the article linked above:

Mark on side of lug that looks like some kind of hallmarking:

For reference, the corresponding images from the linked article

Hallmark here is above the observatory logo:


Note the style of Omega logo towards the top and the little diamond-shaped mark towards the bottom:

Unfortunately, I suspect it will end high considering it’s in the UK and that seller has been shared within this thread often. They have developed a solid reputation for good pieces.

It is indeed a French-cased version of the 168.010.
the insertion of the '3' denotes a French made case and the over-large stars around the observatory are a give-away.
The eagle's head French hallmark on the base of the observatory denotes solid 18k.
I wonder if it really does have 18mm lug spacing (a Swiss .010 would be 19mm)

The dial would have been supplied by Omega and is the classic, if unusual, 'onyx and tritium lume' dial with 'pencil hands' found on the later .010s.
I don't know what the rules were about adding 'fab Suisse' to the dial but I have a gold cap version of this watch, Swiss made but bought from France, and it doesn't have it either.

Interesting that the ebay description states 'gold plated watch'
It's not in mint condition but it is still really quite nice - I'd expect it to go for something like four to five times the current price

May not be on eBay but this is worth the recommendation.

In image one that line is on the crystal not the dial as you will see it's gone in image two.
