Out of the more than 1,000 vintage Seamasters from the '50-80's that we've owned this is our first example of this reference. It has a great retro style.
With a diameter just under 36mm without the crown by 42mm long, it is virtually the same size as Rolex Datejust.
It has a classic late vintage styled steel case and an elegant royal blue dial. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice! Despite what the photos seem to suggest, the dial is a rich royal blue.
Powering the watch is its original Omega caliber 1342 quartz mechanism with quick-setting hour for easy changing of the time zone or date.
But what is most striking about the watch is its incredible condition! It has all of its original Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.
The case presents as gorgeous mint - the facets are perfect. The dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration, Master Watchmaker has installed a new battery and performed any needed servicing.
For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it and installed a brand new leather strap with aftermarket buckle done in an Omega style making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and also did authorized work for the Richemont brands like Cartier and others.
A painstakingly restored more than four decade old Omega that presents like new on the wrist!
