: Hello there,
: I own a De Ville Co-Axial Chronometer and it
: has been very surprising to see that on the
: face of my watch it says "DeVille
: Automatic Chronometer" while on the
: Omega web site the same model displays
: "DeVille Co-Axial Chronometer".
: Mine has been bought in an Omega A.D. with
: guarantee cards, seals, boxes, etc. and on
: the back it displays the chronos logo and
: "Co-Axial Escapement"
: any thoughts?
Older DeVilles used to say "Automatic" instead of "Co-Axial", and there are still two different versions of the black dial power reserve model in production. For some reason, US buyers get "Automatic" while the rest of the world gets "Co-Axial". I have no idea why this is true for only that model, but it is.
Anyway, as long as you have the AD stamped warranty card, you're fine. You simply have an older DeVille (unless yours is the black dial power reserve model, in which case you may have a current one).
