Maison fondee en 1848

Hello again everyone. My friend, a watch collector, showed me again a very beautiful mint condition looking watch. The most striking thing about this watch was the case back saying "maison fondee en 1848" with serial number 55710183. The front was a very simple but elegant silver dial which just had date window and the markings Omega with omega mark, and close to six o'clock just the word "Automatic". It kind of looks to me like a Seamaster de Ville, but without the De Ville mark. The watch strap says Seamaster on the buckle. I surfed the net and found that there was a Speedmaster produced in the early 1990's with Maison fondee en 1848 on the back, but this watch he showed me was definitely not a Speedmaster chronograph, and looked to me like something more from a Seamaster De Ville type watch. Anyone have any idea about the model of this watch. Thanks in advance.
