1964 Omega (Seamaster) Vintage Mens Rare Cal. 560 Watch, Automatic, Date - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 5690

Today's offering showcases this rare, classic and pleasing all original Omega with caliber 560 movement. 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."

This model was also sold branded as a Seamaster - the Seamaster version is identical to this version in construction except for the Seamaster wording in the dial signature and the Seamaster logo embossed onto the case back.

It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, original crown, and even signed crystal. 

It is in very pleasing original condition. The dial is original and mint.

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 the new-old-stock original Omega crystal. For the finishing touch we have installed a 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.
