The fake De Ville 424.13.40 is a replica of Omega's 39.5 mm De Ville Prestige, one of the cleanest dress watches in the modern catalog. This guide explains what the replica includes, how it is built, and how it wears. If you want the Prestige look in a watch you can wear every day, here is the straight answer.
What is the fake De Ville 424.13.40?
It is a 39.5 mm stainless steel dress watch that copies the proportions, dial layout and strap of the Omega De Ville Prestige reference 424.13.40. The case is about 10 mm thick, the dial uses applied Roman numerals with small seconds at six o'clock, and the watch is powered by an automatic movement. It is a replica, not an authentic Omega, and it is sold as one.
Key Features
- 39.5 mm stainless steel case with a slim dress-watch profile
- Silver-toned dial with applied Roman numerals and leaf hands
- Small seconds sub-dial at the six o'clock position
- Domed crystal with anti-reflective coating
- Automatic movement visible through an exhibition case back
- Padded leather strap with a matching pin buckle
- Splash-resistant only, not built for swimming or showering
- Adjustable strap that fits wrists from roughly 6.5 to 8 inches
Materials and specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and finished with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces, which is what gives the Prestige its low-glare, dressy look. The crystal is sapphire or sapphire-coated mineral depending on the batch, and the strap is calf leather with an embossed alligator pattern. Inside, most versions run a 21,600 vph automatic, usually a Japanese Miyota or a Chinese Seagull-based caliber, with a power reserve of about 40 hours. Case backs are engraved with the reference number.
How close is the replica to the original?
At arm's length the silhouette, dial furniture and strap read very close, and the 39.5 mm diameter is accurate. Up close the tells are the movement finishing, the sharpness of the dial printing and the case-back engraving.
Is it a good everyday dress watch?
Yes, if you treat it as a fashion watch rather than an heirloom piece. It slips under a shirt cuff, the leather softens with wear, and the automatic keeps reasonable time with occasional regulation.
Shipping and returns
Orders are packed in plain, unbranded boxes with no product names on the outer label, and most ship within 24 to 48 hours with tracking. US delivery usually takes 7 to 14 business days after dispatch. If the watch arrives faulty, with a dead movement, cracked crystal or broken clasp, contact support within seven days for a replacement or refund, and keep the packaging until you have checked it over.
