Omega

Item No. 5961

Today's offering showcases this classic and beautifully restored c. 1969 Omega Seamaster. Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 562 movement with twenty-four jewels (instead of the more common seventeen jewel versions).

It measures just under 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.

It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, and winding crown. It presents in gorgeous condition. The case, which originally would have been all steel, has been previously gold plated presents as just short of mint.

The dial is original and mint. Our watchmaker has just cleaned and oiled the movemvent, which is running very true.

1950's and 60's Seamasters are great buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.

A seldom seen classic Seamaster that presents on the wrist almost like new!
