OMEGA De Ville Automatic – Anthracite Linen Dial – Cal. 1002 – Ref. 162.046 – Vintage 1970s – Original Omega Bracelet --- DESCRIPTION Elegant vintage Omega De Ville Automatic, reference 162.046, dating from the 1970s and featuring a distinctive anthracite-black linen-textured dial, a stainless steel case and the renowned Omega calibre 1002 automatic movement. This attractive example showcases the understated sophistication of Omega's classic De Ville collection, combining refined Swiss watchmaking with a timeless design that remains highly wearable today. The highlight of this watch is its beautiful dark anthracite dial, featuring a subtle cross-hatched linen texture that creates fascinating reflections depending on the lighting. Applied silver-tone baton hour markers, a double marker at 12 o'clock, the raised Omega emblem and a framed date window at 3 o'clock complete its elegant appearance. The stainless steel case measures 33.4 mm excluding the crown, a classic vintage size that offers excellent proportions for a refined dress watch. Inside beats the Omega calibre 1002, a Swiss automatic movement from Omega's high-frequency generation, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and featuring a date complication. Another particularly attractive feature is the Omega-signed stainless steel multi-link bracelet, with its distinctive five-row design and folding clasp bearing the Omega emblem. The bracelet complements the vintage character of the watch beautifully. An appealing example of 1970s Omega watchmaking, particularly distinguished by its dark textured dial, genuine Omega automatic movement and matching Omega-branded steel bracelet. --- TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS * Brand: Omega * Collection: De Ville * Model: De Ville Automatic – Anthracite Linen Dial * Reference: 162.046 * Period: 1970s * Country of manufacture: Switzerland * Movement: Omega calibre 1002 * Movement type: Automatic mechanical * Frequency: 28,800 vibrations per hour * Case material: Stainless steel * Case diameter without crown: 33.4 mm * Case diameter including crown: 35.1 mm * Dial: Anthracite-black with linen-textured finish * Hour markers: Applied silver-tone baton indices * Hands: Silver-tone baton hands * Date display: Framed aperture at 3 o'clock * Bracelet: Omega-branded stainless steel multi-link bracelet * Clasp: Omega-signed folding clasp * Bracelet clasp reference: 1502 * Bracelet length: Approximately 15 cm, excluding the watch case * Wrist circumference: Currently suitable for wrists up to approximately 19 cm * Additional links: Included, allowing the bracelet to be extended for larger wrists * Functions: Hours, minutes and date --- CONDITION Very good vintage condition, with signs of age and wear consistent with a timepiece from the 1970s. * Case: Well preserved stainless steel case, showing light surface scratches and normal signs of use. * Dial: Attractive original-style anthracite linen-textured appearance, with minor marks and age-related patina visible under magnification. * Crystal: Some superficial scratches and signs of wear consistent with its age. * Hands and markers: Silver-tone finish with visible age-related wear. * Movement: Genuine Omega calibre 1002 automatic movement, photographed in detail. * Please note: The central seconds hand is absent from this example. * Bracelet: Omega-branded stainless steel bracelet in very good cosmetic condition, with normal signs of use. * Clasp: Omega-signed folding clasp, showing light signs of wear. * Additional bracelet links are included, allowing the bracelet to be adjusted for a larger wrist.
