1978 Omega Seamaster Vintage Mens Quartz Date Watch with Green Dial - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 6864

Today's offering showcases this classic mens Omega Seamaster. This uncommon model has a classic retro yet elegant look to it. Its original dial has been refinished in a cool green tone.

With a diameter just over 35mm without the crown, it is virtually the same size as Rolex Datejust.

Powering the watch is its original Omega caliber 1342 quartz mechanism with quick-setting hour for easy changing of the time zone or date.

But what is most striking about the watch is its incredible condition! It is in true expertly restored condition. It is fully Omega down to the waterproofing gasket and presents as mint condition.

The dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

A painstakingly restored four decade old Omega that presents like new on the wrist!

Omega Seamaster:

Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.
