I am selling this very pretty Omega De Ville Prestige, reference 145.0050, with the iconic caliber 861. This is a watch I don't see mentioned often and it's a pity, because to me it's the Speedmaster for the opera house. I've had this watch for 6/7 months and it's a joy to wear: simple, small, elegant, and the black dial goes well with basically everything. Selling it because I have too many watches and want to make room for other pieces.

Included is an after market grey nubuck leather strap with an after market buckle. No box or papers, just the watch.

Feedback
I am new to watch collecting and I haven't sold anything in this forum or any other forums. However, I've been a relatively active member since September 2023, have introduced myself, and have bought a couple of things. I also have an eBay storePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Condition
Dial is practically flawless. I don't see any imperfections even under a 12x loupe. The radial grooves in the sub registers are a pain to photograph and being a small black dial, they're hard to see even with a naked eye. However they're there. The hands are also clean.

Sapphire crystal is clean. On the photos there is a mark under the Omega logo, but it's just lint. I noticed it only after I had taken the photos and wrapped it up.

Case has scratches and marks from use. Snap on case back has a couple of deeper scratches, probably from idiots trying to open it. These are quite magnified in the close-up photos. I don't think the case has ever been polished. Crown and pushers I believe are original to the watch.

Movement looks clean. This is the 18 jewels variant of the cal. 861. It keeps decent time and the chronograph functions work as expected. I don't know the service history and it hasn't been serviced while in my possession. Testing it with a timegrapher app on an Android device, it shows -42 s/d and 0.7ms beat error on dial up, and -77 s/d and 0.4ms beat error on dial down. I doubt those are terribly accurate, but at least may show a general trend.
