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: Is 27 mm a small watch size? A: Yes. A 27 mm case wears as a petite, classic dress-watch size, which suits those who prefer refined proportions rather than an oversized look. This particular watch is especially well suited to slimmer wrists, and the current bracelet fit is listed for a 16 cm wrist or smaller.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist as it is? A: The bracelet is currently sized to fit a wrist of up to approximately 16 cm. If your wrist is larger, you may need additional links sourced separately, as only the items listed in the product information are included with the watch.
Q: Is this Omega De Ville Prestige likely to be quartz or mechanical? A: Watches in this De Ville Prestige size and style are typically quartz, which means convenient, accurate timekeeping without daily winding. If you would like movement confirmation for this exact piece before purchase, it is best to request that directly for this individual watch.
Q: What details give this watch its dressy look? A: This piece combines a 27 mm case with a two-tone bracelet, gold-tone accents, a diamond bezel, and diamond hour markers. Together, those details give it an elegant, jewellery-inspired look that works especially well for smart daywear, evening wear, or formal occasions.
Q: Can I wear this watch every day? A: Yes, if you enjoy a classic and more delicate look. The De Ville Prestige line is known for elegant, dress-oriented styling, so this watch is ideal for careful daily wear or occasion wear rather than heavy sport use.
Q: Is it suitable for water exposure? A: With any vintage watch, it is safest to treat it as splash-resistant at most unless it has been freshly pressure-tested. We would not recommend swimming, showering, or prolonged exposure to water with a 1998 dress watch unless a recent professional water-resistance check has been carried out.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: The box is included. Everything that comes with the watch is listed in the product information section, so if extra items such as papers, spare links, or other presentation items are not listed there, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the condition mean in practical terms? A: The watch is described as like new overall with light traces of use externally, good internal condition, and shiny hardware with light scratches. In practical terms, that means it presents very well, while still showing the minor signs of handling that are normal for a vintage pre-owned watch.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Omega watch like this? A: For best long-term care, store it in a dry place, avoid perfume and harsh chemicals on the case or bracelet, and have it checked by a qualified watch specialist when needed. Routine servicing is part of ownership for vintage watches, and water-resistance checks are wise if you plan to wear it regularly.
Q: How do you verify authenticity on a vintage Omega watch? A: Authenticity is assessed through detailed checks of hallmark design features such as materials, construction, finishing, dial details, bracelet style, and serial or model indicators where available. That process is especially important with vintage watches, where originality and overall consistency matter just as much as branding.
