Seamaster Chronometer made post 1952 are one of Omega's seldom seen vintage watches. These watches featured all of the rugged spottiness of the Seamaster line coupled with an officially certified chronometer movement.

After their release and after Omega divided the line into two models, the "plain" Seamaster, a sport watch without chronometer certification, and the Constellation, the higher-end chromometer option, Omega only made a relatively few Seamaster Chronometer, and these watches with caliber 564 movements are desirable and uncommon.

Today's offering showcases this pleasing gold capped Seamaster Chronometer with original dial that is just short of mint and case back in beautiful condition, without the wrench scars you so often see with these. With a 36.5mm diameter, it is full size, just slightly larger than a Rolex Datejust.

The officially certified chronometer movement is near pristine.

Our watchmaker has just freshly cleaned the movement which is keeping very accurate time. For the finishing touch we have installed a new genuine crocodile 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.

A dress watch with truly impressive capabilities.
