Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously restored 1961 Omega Seamaster with original Omega beads of rice bracelet.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 562 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. It has 24 jewels and swan's neck fine regulations - it is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.

It is full size for the era - 35mm, which is in between the size of the Rolex Date and the Rolex Datejust. Its case shape is our favorite classic Omega styles from the era, and it has the look of a solid gold Seamaster for a fraction of the price.

It has fully Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. The watch itself presents in beautiful condition.

Its case, with shapely lugs, presents in excellent condition with a few areas of natural aging underneath the lugs. It has no gold wearthrough and presents on the wrist as gorgeous mint.

Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. It's accompanied by its original, unrestored 18K gold plated Omega beads of rice bracelet.

As part of the restoration, it has just fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. Its movement is very clean. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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 high-grade classic Seamaster that presents beautifully.

Note: A published example of a similar watch can be seen in Marco Richon's work, Omega: A Journey Through Time, 2007, pg. 291 and resides in the Omega Museum.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts.
