Today's offering showcases this classic mens Omega Seamaster. This uncommon model was only produced from 1980 to 1983 and has a classic retro yet elegant look to it.
The movement is its original Omega caliber 1342 quartz mechanism 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 in true expertly restored condition. If is fully Omega and presents as a 9.7 out of 10 and is very clean even in the "engine bay" hidden underneath the back.
The dial is a perfect refinishing and the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
Note that the dial came out looking just a little brighter blue under our lights than it does in person. It is more subdued and is more of a deep royal blue.
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 presents on the wrist almost like new!
Omega Seamaster:
Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many prominent figures including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els, and Prince William, and one graced the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.
Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been were embraced by water sports enthusiasts and marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
