Today's offering showcases this beautiful and meticulously restored c. 1963 Omega Seamaster.

It has one of our favorite classic Seamaster case designs with screwback case embossed with the Seamonster logo and a desirable cross-hair dial.

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.

It has fully Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case, with shapely lugs, presents in mint condition with only light signs of previous polishing. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. It is a true royal blue with a deeper and richer tone than our photos suggest.

As part of the restoration, it has just fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new complementary blue leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle 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 six decade old Omega that looks like new on the wrist.

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. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
