Brushed grey titanium case, black waffle dial, same seven day recorder chronograph complication. I'm especially partial to the rubberized crown and pushers.
They came in gold, too.
To the best of my knowledge, these models were produced for only two years. I came close to getting the progenitor . . .

. . . with a nearly hypnotic carbon fiber weave grey dial. I distinctly recall comparing it against a limited edition VC and a Parmigiani some seven years ago. The tactility award in that shoot-out went to the Omega, hands down - and much to my surprise. Pusher feedback was significantly more pleasing with the Connie than either of the more costly competitors.

Some time ago I saw this watch right here on this site and I put it on rather short Watches to Have List. After some searching and some failed attempts to acquire said watch Lady Luck finally smiled upon me. It's in steel, my favorite material, so much cl...
I found one, NOS, earlier this year
but had no time sofa to wear it. I think it's an amazing watch taking into account the price range. Congrats! Kari
It's a wonderful and very desirable piece ...

It's fascinating to observe the interest . . .

What else do you hide in your lair Dr No?
Funny how a conservative line like the DeVille has this exciting offspring. FOUR dials and day/date? And it appears to be a good rich grey colour too. A grey dial watch, make and model to be determined, is the only watch left on the list. Can't be another...

Rubber crown connie
You pulled some nice examples out of your hat there, Dr. No. I have issues with a rubberized crown tho. I know that it's just a feeling I have, but I can't help but think that the rubber won't last long. Silly? Hmmm... The 'claws' on the Connies give them...

Olympic rattrapante
Edward, What a nice contribution. I got curious, as anyone on a forum like this should be, and started digging: Check this out for a "working" version (and sorry thousandfold for the sacrilege:) Wover rattrapante sacrilege (but educational....) ...

Both taken last week on a sunny German railway station platform.... ...
You kill me with your pics ...
I continue my hunt, that now includes not only here, and so far nothing. Wear it with pride. It's a wonderful piece. Cheers, Nilo
