The De Ville Prestige spotlights the aesthetic design supremacy of Omega – a brand that is usually recognised for its complex, highly-functional watches. The Prestige series from the popular De Ville collection empowers patrons by proposing understated designs tipped with luxe details and reliable mechanisms.

Here we have Ref. 424.13.40.20.01.001, which encapsulates the series’ ethos quite distinctly. It features a wearable 39.5 mm case constructed in stainless steel, including a smooth bezel, slender lugs, and a fairly-proportioned crown. The dial is adorned in black with dauphine hands and a date window at 3 o’clock. Additionally, it houses polished hour indexes and Roman numerals, placed in beautiful symmetry. Overall, an elegant appeal and high readability dominate the dial.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
