Omega De Ville “Honeycomb Ellipse” Travel Watch Ref. 195.0013 (circa 1980s)
Omega De Ville “Honeycomb Ellipse” Travel Watch Ref. 195.0013 (circa 1980s)
WHY WE CURATED IT:
A subtly angular ellipse, with stepped bezel and some muscularity. Personally love the sweet-spot size and proportions, leaning a bit towards daily than dressy. Show-stopping champagne honeycomb dial we hesitate to call “rare”, but certainly very uncommon with only a few ever appearing online for this reference (waffle dials don’t count, this is a literal honeycomb). The hour hand quicksets, so crossing timezones doesn’t require stopping the movement, losing time, cycling the minute hand to adjust the hour, and resetting against another time source. Just snap to the local hour and go.
CONDITION:
8/10, with visible signs of use. Crystal has some small marks/stains (mostly not visible in normal light). Hands in good condition, dial has small age spots/edge tarnish. Caseback has deep centre relief and clear calibre ID at the bottom. New aftermarket strap and buckle, with original Omega buckle included (visibly used). Movement in excellent health and is quartz-accurate.
