    That's looks more like an Omega cal.625 to me.

    Genuine cal.625 but definitely not a cal.620. Both from the same family so interchangeable but the 625 runs a little faster.

    Yep. That is a 1970s 625 not a 620, it looks very different to the 620.

    Looks like we both responded at the same time Padders.

    Yep but you were right first!

    I'm not a fan of a lot of Omega's 1970s output, internally its like they gave up with decoration and corners were cut in a few places mechanically too. Those stickers with the serial are just a cheapo afterthought.

    Wrong movement for the De Ville you're considering, unless they changed the calibre later in its production run.

    Never seen one of these before. I assumed a 625 would be more similar to the 620, that hampered my search !

    I can remember most of the full- size Omega movements but I struggle with the smaller ones.

    Could also be a 635 movement. Almost immpossible to tell apart from the 625.
