Here we have an  A+ example of a coveted vintage 1969 Omega De Ville reference 146.017 with the high grade caliber 930 movement. Limited to 3000 production units between variants.

 

This is probably the best collector grade example of such a rare and distinguishable De Ville Chronograph, with off set date at 9, and flawless silver sunburst pearlescent dial. The lume is in wonderful condition, aged to a warm hue.

 

The caliber 930 was used in the Omega Bullhead and is a limited production movement at that time, the most unique feature being the date at 9 position, that sits inside the subdial.

 

The radial minutes and crosshair subseconds are a marvel, and you find yourself just staring at this dial forvever. They really are the most perfectly imperfect design, and really fascinating.

 

This example comes on its  original solid link 1153/138 bracelet with 540 endlinks.
