1978 Omega Seamaster Classic Vintage Mens Full Size Accuset Watch, Date - 18K Gold Plated & Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 6894

Today's offering showcases this classic mens Omega Seamaster. Built for only a short time beginning in 1977, this uncommon has a classic retro yet elegant look to it.

It is full size measuring 35.5mm in diameter without the crown, about the same size as a Rolex Datejust.

Powering the watch is its original Omega caliber 1342 quartz movement with quick-setting hour for easy changing of the time zone and date.

But what is most striking about the watch is its incredible condition! It is 100% Omega down to its Omega waterproofing seal!

It is in true expertly restored condition and presents as just short of like new. It presents as a 9.8 out of 10 and is very clean even in the "engine bay" hidden underneath the back.

The dial has been meticulously refinished - its gilt printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Photos of the inside available upon request.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

A gorgeously restored three and a half decade old Omega that looks nearly like new!
