Today's offering showcases this classic and uncommonly large restored 1961 Omega Seamaster with mid-century style case and striking green vignette dial.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 552 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs and the co-highest level offering in the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.

It has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

Its "jumbo" case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has been custom refinished in green vignette - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, the very fine caliber 552 movement with fine swans neck regulation has been freshly expertly overhauled by a Master Watchmakers. It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, it has been equipped with a new aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate use.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.

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.
