The Huge price disparity ($1200) between the two watches is largely because of the bracelet. The DeVille bracelet is VERY expensive, and Omega typically charges $1,000 more for a DeVille on that brickwork bracelet than on the leather strap. Omega typically charges $100 - $200 more for a bracelet model over a strap model for the Seamasters or Speedmasters (even the DeVilles with a non brickwork bracelet).
Also, when the DeVille Co-Axials were introduced, Omega set the price too high. Here we are 4 or 5 years later, and other models are still catching up. When the Aqua Terras were first introduced, they were about $800 less than the similar configuration DeVille Co-Axial. Same movement, but the AT has a display back, and is 150m water resistant rather than just 100m WR.
The Speedmaster Broad Arrows were released around the same time as the DeViles, and is still a $1,000 disparity between them and the Seamaster (Non) America's Cup Chronograph. Mechanically the same watch except the Seamaster has 3x the water resistance rating.
