I like that but the pic doesn't really show off the faceted crystal. Not sure which month has 118 days though.

Thank you. It's a challenging watch to photograph, that's for sure! The beauty of it is in how the view changes as you move it.

This one today (and the next few days I expect)





Love this piece. I have the bracelet for it, which is excellent, but I just think it looks better with a leather strap.

The UTC hand is just about visible under the hour hand in the 2nd shot.

I promised I'd upload a photo when this landed. Popped to pick it up today after a bit of a wait (Triton made this dial for me)

Very nice... how is the UTC/GMT hand set? On that pusher?

This arrived today and I have to say it has rather surprised me. ( In a good way)

Cheers.

The UTC hand is set via the crown.

Singing in a concert tonight, so am suited and booted and the Omega DeVille is getting an outing.

It’s lovely to go back to a dress watch after wearing a dive watch in the week.

A Very classy & timeless piece that. Would love something similar myself

They go for relatively little money used.
Classic and vintage dress watches seem to offer better value pre owned than SS sports watches, particularly if you don’t mind quartz, and there are loads of them out there.

Mine belonged to my wife‘s grandfather, so I‘ll keep it forever. Joe at Anglesey Watches got it running again. It’s a 1980 or 81 model I think.
