Today's offering showcases this classic original mid-century mens Omega tropical dial. In basic constitution it is a Seamaster, though not so named, sharing the same Caliber 490 movement and waterproof calatrava case as certain watches in that line.

The waterproof stainless steel case is in excellent condition . The toned luminous matches the wonderful original "tropical" dial - the silver has warmed to a sepia tone, giving the watch a true vintage look. The well-made movement is clean and keeping time.

We have equipped the watch with a crocodile band and brand new Omega buckle making it ready for immediate use.

Included with the purchase is a 90-day international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
