Today's offering showcases this classic and fabulously original vintage Omega Seamaster date with caliber 1012 movement. We have gotten quite a few requests for these on original bracelets. Our photos couldn't do it justice.
As a Seamaster, it's a watch that was made with both elegance and sporting capabilities.
Built at a time when the quartz revolution was taking hold and Omega was cutting costs, this watch with automatic Cal. 1012 movement with quick-setting date carried on the mechanical tradition of the Seamaster. The 1012 has 23 jewels, 7 more than in most Seamasters.
It is all original down to its original red waterproofing seal in the case back! It is in stunning condition - it presents as a 9.7 or better out of 10.
We have owned many of these watches, and this is the nicest one that has passed through these halls.
Its full size case presents as gorgeous mint. The case facets look perfect. On the wrist it looks like new.
Its dial is original and untouched, in mint condition. Its luminous has lightly toned nicely. Its original bracelet presents as mint with light signs of previous polishing.
Its movement has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker - it is near pristine. It is keeping time better than many brand new Omegas in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it 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 full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
A more than half-century old all-original Omega that looks like new on the wrist!
