One of the most iconic styles by Omega, this De Ville Prestige — with a timeless silhouette and an elegant black dial — is the watch you’ll wear forever.
Why we love it
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.
Calibre 2500, the first movement equipped with the Co-Axial escapement, powers this Ref. 424.13.40.20.01.001. It is an automatic chronometer movement that guarantees a 48-hour power reserve. Once greatly used across the Omega catalogue, this calibre is now found only in some Prestige models. It is a reliable movement that reinforces this refined, sophisticated timepiece with high functionality. For days when you opt for statement trousers and well-cut blazers, this Omega De Ville Prestige is the watch for you.
This Omega De Ville Prestige 424.13.40.20.01.001 boasts an overall good condition with minor scratches on the case back. The leather straps on this Omega watch are a little soiled.
Provenance
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.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
