Hi everyone- I read in several sites that Seamaster de ville was made only from 1963 to 1967, and yet I see multiple Seamaster de ville for sale. Is there a possibility that some were made in 70's for certain parties or countries? Or these ones for sale are not authentic? Thank you
Yes, the SMD was made well into the 70s, many with the caliber 1020 day/date movement. Solid 14k gold for the US market ref C6865 is one example.
I am not sure of the ref but I will try getting the photo. Currently asking for permission to use this photo.
I was able to get this one photo. I don't know the ref number, but from the hands I guessed it was from late 60's or early 70's.
Yep, that's a correct reference. I am not completely sure, but I believe it uses the cal. 565. It isn't seen as often as its earlier cousins though and the combination of the dressy overall design clashes somewhat with the more "racing-like" seconds track - just IMO of course
