Replica Omega De Ville Wristwatch with Japanese Movement

Story

The 1970s and 80s saw a massive shift in the watch world known as the 'Quartz Crisis,' where traditional Swiss mechanical watches were nearly eclipsed by highly accurate, mass-produced Japanese quartz movements.

Maker / Origin

While the dial says Omega—a company founded in 1848 that famously went to the moon—this specific watch was not produced in their Swiss workshops.

Condition & Value

The watch shows moderate wear on the case back and some light scuffing on the crystal. As a replica, the condition is less critical to value than it would be for a genuine luxury item, but it appears to have been well-loved and worn. The presence of 'Japan Movt' on an Omega-branded case is the primary factor in its valuation.
