Mine is a 68 and almost identical except it says Seamaster . one of my fav Omega pieces. The 861 is just beautiful to look at Great vid.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Nice! That's correct; this reference initially came with the Seamaster dial and later became Deville.

[@mpferket]

Fantastic watch! I own a 1968 145.018 Omega Seamaster (gold plated) and am obsessed with it. I really appreciate the details and examples - Thank you Omega Enthusiast!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Nice, the gold plated version is super nice as well. My good friend owns one of those. Take good care of it and thanks for sharing.

[@komd1764]

Have this watch with black dial for 25 years. Love it!!!

[@DaveMGmovies]

This is one of the most elegant chronographs I have ever seen. Fascinating account of the watch's history -- as always. Another super video.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Glad you liked the video. Will continue to produce more and hopefully turn all of my subscribers to become vintage watch specialists!

[@jadedarby8234]

Thanks for this video.... absolutely beautiful piece... dial is crystal clear and the movement is almost as beautiful as my wife...... Have a great weekend!!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Haha. You have a wonderful weekend as well.

[@DutchClawz]

Show wife?

[@gordonmarsh5008]

Great video. Thank you for all the facts and helpful tips on this model :-)

[@igortrinajstic92]

Great watch! One of my desire!

[@richard-rs8dw]

I was just thinking last night that the Seamaster/Deville is actually my favourite Omega chronograph (!), so it was a nice surprise to see you'd posed a video on it today. Thanks for sharing!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Haha. I had a feeling that someone is waiting for this video. :-P

[@Mikiel-dh4bg]

I've got one very similar to this except that it's sort of more circular, which I inherited from my late father. I love it for obvious reasons, but also because I find it exceptionally beautiful. However, it's in dire need of servicing to get it in working condition and good looks. About a €1000 just to have that done! One day for sure. Omega DE VILLE Seamaster Chronograph 132, Ref 105.005-65, manufactured 1966

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for sharing. Best to let a domestic professional watchmaker restore it for you. Shipping it back to the AD to have it serviced may not always be the best idea as they like to polish the case, redial, relume the watch, and even replace old parts with modern ones.

[@Mikiel-dh4bg]

@@TimelessHistoryChannel And what the AD do wouldn't be a good thing?

[@PaoloZucchetti]

One of my favourite omega ever made

[@GFSwinger1693]

That has to be a NOS case. That watch looks like it has been in a box, hidden under the bed for over 50 years.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

In person, you can see that the watch has been worn over the years. It is not perfect, but definitely can describe as a pristine vintage timepiece.

[@billh2726]

Thanks!

[@librarianrobert7426]

wow, what a watch!

[@michaelh.266]

Hello, I have found an Omega Seamaster with a Spider Lugs dial. However, the case isn't the original anymore. How much do I have a drop in price because of this? In general how big is the price drop if something isn't original anymore for example the dial. Thank you. (:

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Unfortunately, I do not discuss about such topic. You are welcome to discuss about it on my Patreon account when you become a Patron. But, I would recommend you to avoid buying a made up watch period.

[@michaelh.266]

@@TimelessHistoryChannel Thank you for answering my question.

[@oddeikenes9651]

Thanks for useful info. I have a De Ville, which I have owned since 1970. My favorite.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Nice! take good care of it!

[@oddeikenes9651]

@@TimelessHistoryChannel I will. My model is the one with the red, green and black dials and the grey/black face color. Do you know where I can find more info about that special model?

[@Joe-xo3xy]

@Omega Enthusiast Hi there, hop you are good? How did you get that seamaster in such good mint condition, looks almost NOS. If you do not mind, how much did it cost you?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

I bought this watch many years ago. The price of one nowadays is much more. In such condition may cost between 3-5k or possibly more depending on your source and location.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

@@TimelessHistoryChannel hi there, thanks for getting in touch. I have to say, yours is in great condition, I hope I may find one some day. Do you think they can still be found in true NOS condition; Your version or even the version with the round case and straight lugs. Please let me know, thanks.

[@robg9574]

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]
