A Speedmaster Bastard?

I'am just starting to get interested in collecting Omegas.
Many years ago I got a dress watch in solid 18ct gold. It looked just like a Speedmaster but have "Seamaster De Ville" on the dial. Looking inside and at Omegas vintage homepage I found it to be a BA 145.005 with a caliber 321 mechanism - 1967 vintage.
What puzzles me is that searching on the internet for this particular combination gave me nothing at all.
Is there anybody out there that can fill me in on this?
Is it really rare and collectable or is it simply not interesting enough for you collectors and Omega-fans?
Its been in my family from day 1 so I am 100% sure it is not a fake.

Thanks for your interest!
