Today's offering showcases this quite uncommon and collectable all-original Seamaster Chronometer in very pleasing condition.

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

After their release and after Omega divided the line into two models in 1952, the "plain" Seamaster, a sport watch without chronometer certification, and the Constellation, the higher-end chronometer option, Omega only made a relatively few Seamaster Chronometers.

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, even the chronometer versions like this watch.

It is fully Omega down to the untouched dial, hands, winding crown, and new signed Omega crystal!

It is in beautiful condition. Its full size case - 35mm in diameter which is in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust - is in excellent condition. It is scratch-free and the case back shows signs of previously being polished.

Its original dial is better than near mint with only light aging and light warming in tone, giving it a true vintage look.

Its officially certified chronometer movement has had any needed servicing performed, and our watchmaker has installed a brand new genuine Omega crystal and new waterproofing gasket. It winds smoothly and we have timed it in five chronometer positions. Photos of the inside available upon request.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new 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 very fine watch with truly impressive capabilities.

Note: A published example of a Seamaster chronometer watch can be found in John Goldberger's work Omega Watches, 2005, pg. 137.
