Q: Is 27 mm considered small for a watch? A: Yes, 27 mm is a compact size by modern standards, but that is part of the appeal of a vintage De Ville. It wears as a classic dress watch: neat, elegant and understated rather than oversized.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: The stated bracelet perimeter is 16.5 cm. As a guide, it should suit wrists up to around that size depending on how close or loose you prefer the fit. If your wrist is larger, it may feel tight.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: A watchmaker may be able to adjust a metal bracelet if the construction allows. Sizing smaller is usually simpler than sizing larger, and enlarging beyond the current 16.5 cm would normally require additional links if available.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: A watchmaker may be able to adjust a metal bracelet if the construction allows. Sizing smaller is usually simpler than sizing larger, and enlarging beyond the current 16.5 cm would normally require additional links if available.
Q: Is this Omega De Ville quartz or mechanical? A: Reference 596.1479 is commonly associated with an Omega quartz movement, often calibre 1479. Quartz is appreciated for its slim profile and convenient day-to-day use.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, it works well as an elegant everyday watch for office wear, lunches, dinners and smart occasions. As a vintage piece, it is best worn with a little extra care and kept away from heavy knocks.
Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: We recommend treating vintage watches cautiously around water. Unless a pre-owned watch has been freshly pressure-tested and serviced, it is best not to swim, shower or submerge it.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: It is listed in good overall condition, with very good external presentation and light scratches to the case and bracelet. These signs of wear are normal for a vintage watch and are reflected in the product information.
Q: Does it come with box, papers or other items? A: No. This watch is listed with no box, papers or other included items.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Omega De Ville? A: Store it in a dry place, wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear, and avoid perfume, cosmetics, strong magnetic fields and sudden temperature changes. Omega generally recommends periodic servicing over the years, and a weakening quartz battery should be replaced promptly by an authorised service centre.
Q: How can I verify the model and year? A: This watch is listed as reference 596.1479 with serial number 58412978 and year 1998. For vintage Omega watches, the reference and serial are key identifiers, and Omega can provide archive information for many older pieces.
