Hi all, I've been visiting the forum for a long long time as it the best for real world advice.

Blew my wristwatch budget for the next year or two on a Sinn 556 I (you need one of these!) and Certina DS1 but I've found myself with a great hunger for the Omega De Ville Hour Vision, specifically silver dial on black leather strap. Some of the other colour aren't appealing. I wear suits pretty often to work and think this really is bang on.



However, I don't have that kind of big cash for a jewellery item and wouldn't feel comfortable travelling around with thousands of franks on my wrist.

I'm searching for a look-a-like that is affordable: 200-600 euros is the target.

Any alternatives out there?


Thanks

Best

The way the lugs overlap the case give is an elegant look that is pretty different.

This Seiko Superior (SRP111) bears some resemblance to the Deville Hour (although this Seiko is probably based on an older Seiko design).

I was looking at some Oris watches this morning that might fit the bill (they are approx $300 over your budget, but you may be able to find used models):

Oris Artelier Date Small Second Automatic Mens Watch 623-7582-4051LS


Oris Mens Artelier Silver Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Automatic Watch 644-7597-4051MB

It is not really exactly like that Omega, but my favorite dress watch in this price range is the Seiko 'Cocktail Time'. It has a gorgeous looking dial, and is within the upper end of your budget.
