Gone but not forgotten
Does anyone have any background knowledge of this watch? I know it is an Omega De Ville Quartz (battery operated) and was new circa 1980 when I bought it in response to an advertisement in a UK Sunday Newspaper. What I don't know is was this a "normal" model produced by Omega or perhaps made specially for the promotion. I am having difficulty finding any information regarding this model and would be pleased to receive any advice. The watch at the time of purchase cost £550 (approx $950) and was a lovely timepiece. Sadly stolen last week so I am looking to replace with something similar.
