    Hi,

    Just acquired De Ville Chrono ref 146.017, cal 930, serial 291 xxxxx dates it to 1969, and wondering what case and dial combinations there were available for that watch? I've seen steel and gold plated cases, and dial colours like gold and grey.
    Questions:
    - Were there any other dial colours available for the watch?
    - Are all combinations being offered for this watch? i.e Case/Dial combinations like steel/grey and gold/gold (like mine below) are obvious, but what about gold case / grey dial, or steel case / gold dial? Where those ones offered as well?

    Cheers!

    It certainly was produced in 18k, gold plated and stainless, and the variety of dials was quite extensive because of the option to have tachometer, decimal, telemetric, or pulsimetric gradations. The 18k version with the ivory dail looks very nice.

    Never seen an example with the latter dial/metal combinations you mentioned, but the stainless with blue dial and printing is a rare combination.
