Omega Seamaster De Ville

Dear All -

This is my first visit to this site. I have just been given an Omega Automatic Seamaster De Ville watch recently. I believe it is from the late 1960's / early 1970's. The watch is a gold case with a flexible gold band. The watch face says in the lower bottom "swiss made" and the gold flexible strap says "made in Japan"

There is no visible serial number on the case. However the strap says the letters "JB" throughout the band (does this refer to James Bond???). Additionally, there are some words printed on the band: Champion 1, 1/20 10KT G.F. TOPS, STAINLESS BACKS, and finally the last line says "Made in Japan". Again, this is all printed on the original band, not on the case.

I was curious to know if this is a standard model of Omega from that time period or if there is some value to this watch.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards, Adam
