Up for grabs is this super rare inverted grey dial Omega De Ville Chronograph reference 145.017. A true grail for Omega collectors on its original 1068 bracelet.

 

This is in our opinion one of THE most beautiful vintage Omega chronographs ever made. The colour changes through metallic grey, charcoal grey and hues blue grey and ghost grey shades.

 

It is believed the Caliber 860 was only produced in 10,000 units compare that to the 861, which is around 300,000, making this inverted grey panda dial variant somewhat rare, as there was a fair amount of dial variants. Firstly, the shimmering chameleon grey dial on this particular De Ville is as close to top condition as you would wish to find. 

 

What we truly love about this one is the detail, like that cool red detail printing on the left subdial contrasting the right in black print, and the white hour indeces on grey background. And multi facetted blue/grey silvered dial.

 

This example is in excellent overall condition and nicely preserved dial, with all orginal parts, including the crown and pushers. And, Omega crystal has the floating Omega logo inside it.

 

These De Ville Chronos are quickly appreciating, but more importantly they are really beautiful watches, with good wrist presence. Don't let this one slip away...We don't see them too often..
