Today's offering showcases this rare, classic and pleasing automatic Omega. It features Omega's rare caliber 560 movement of which only 3,000 examples were made. These watches were made just for the U.S. market to avoid higher tariffs, and these movements were split across nine models, making each in effect a "limited edition."

It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, and original crown and presents very nicely. The original dial has begin to warm to a sepia tone, giving it a true vintage look. The gold-filled top "tropical" steel back case has the look of a solid gold Omega without the price tag.

1960's and early 70's Seamasters are great long-term buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.

Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement and installed a brand new original Omega crown. For the finishing touch we have installed a new genuine Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
