CLASSIC front load 14K solid gold "Unishell" Seamaster with Hippocampus back, linen dial, box and papers. This is one of the earliest caliber 560 watches I have come across. These are often referred to as "pre DE VILLES".

More information on the caliber 560 watches can be found in Desmond's blog: http://omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.com/2009/07/unearthed-more-omega-calibre-560.html



14K solid gold case with nice Hippocampus back, reference KL6610, with signed crown and signed cyclops crystal.

Original linen dial with applied faceted gold figures, Omega symbol and script. Some aging visible as seen in the high resolution photos.

Uncommon caliber 560 TWO (2) adjustment automatic movement with date, serial number dates this to ca 1960, service history unknown, but is currently running well. There were only 3000 of the caliber 560 made.

34.1-mm not including the signed crown x 40.3-mm lug tip to lug tip.

$1350.00, US shipping included, international shipping OK, cost by location. Payment to be discussed.

REDUCED - $1195.00

Click the photos for full size resolution, they are part of the description.

Sorry, all sales final unless grossly misrepresented.

I keep coming back here looking at this but we are doing some home improvement projects that are running into Rolex territory, not Daytona level. Anyway it’s a very nice watch and I don’t think x350 even needs any reviews he is active here but I can attest he is a pleasure to do business with.
