Item No. 9958
Sold Out
Today's offering showcases this classic and gorgeously restored Seamaster from 1962. It has a beautiful wine vignette colored dial without a date and a pleasing case style that together gives it a great look. Our photos couldn't do it justice!
Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 552 movement, one the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs.
It has 24 jewels, seven more than in most similar movements, and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.
It measures 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.
The case presents as mint condition. The original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished in wine vignette - the printing could pass as Omega factory done.
As part of the restoration, the movement has been freshly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker, which is very clean. It is running exceptionally strong and true keeping time like a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, a new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
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. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
