Q: What are the key specifications of this De Ville Prestige ref. 424.13.40.20.02.001? A: It has a 39.5 mm stainless steel case, a two‑zone silver dial with Roman numerals and date at 3 o’clock, a domed scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with internal anti‑reflective treatment, and a closed case back. Inside is the Omega Co‑Axial automatic calibre 2500 (chronometer). Water resistance is 30 m, and the lug width is 20 mm. Approximate power reserve is around 48 hours.
Q: How accurate is the movement? A: The calibre 2500 is a COSC‑certified chronometer, so when properly regulated you can typically expect around −4 to +6 seconds per day on average. Actual performance varies with wear and servicing history.
Q: Is it safe to get this watch wet? A: With a 30 m rating, it is fine for everyday splashes and rain but not suitable for swimming, showering or saunas. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in, and have water‑resistance seals pressure‑tested periodically if you’re around water often.
Q: How often should I have it serviced? A: Omega generally advises a complete service roughly every 5–8 years, depending on use and environment. If you notice noticeable timekeeping drift, moisture under the crystal or reduced power reserve, service sooner. A quick pressure test for water resistance can be done more frequently.
Q: What does the Co‑Axial escapement do for me? A: Omega’s Co‑Axial design reduces friction in the escapement, which helps maintain stable accuracy over time and can lengthen the interval between services compared with many conventional lever‑escapement movements.
Q: What strap size does it use, and can I swap straps? A: The watch has a 20 mm lug width, so it accepts most quality 20 mm leather straps. The included leather strap suits dress wear; you can fit alternative 20 mm straps for a different look. We can advise on compatible options.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This is a full set from 2016. Everything included is listed under the product information section for this listing, such as the original box and any cards or booklets. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included—contact us if you’d like us to confirm specifics.
Q: Is this a good size for daily wear? A: At 39.5 mm with a slim profile and leather strap, it wears comfortably on most wrists and suits business and smart‑casual attire. The sapphire crystal and stainless steel case make it practical for regular use—just avoid water beyond light splashes.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials, dial and printing, movement, engravings, and serial numbers, cross‑checked against manufacturer references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
