1961 Omega Seamaster Mens Vintage Automatic Cal. 562 Watch - 14K Gold Shell & Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 9625

Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously 1961 Omega Seamaster.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 562 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. It has 24 jewels and swan's neck fine regulations - it is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.

It measures 34mm in diameter without the crown, the same size as a Rolex Date model. Its case shape is our favorite Omega style from the era and its black dial has a desirable crosshair design.

It has fully Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in beautiful condition.

Its case, with shapely lugs, presents as just short of mint. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration the movement has had any needed servicing performed by a Master Watchmaker. It is keeping accurate time.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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.

A high-grade classic Seamaster that presents like new.

Note: A published example of a similar watch can be seen in Marco Richon's work, Omega: A Journey Through Time, 2007, pg. 291 and resides in the Omega Museum.

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.
