1979 Omega Seamaster Mens Vintage Watch, Automatic, Date - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 4056

Today's offering showcases this classic and strong c. 1979 Omega Seamaster with original retro styled Omega bracelet.

It is a later model vintage Seamaster. Built at a time when the quartz revolution was taking hold and Omega was cutting costs.

It measures 34.5mm in diameter, in between the size of the Rolex Date and the Rolex Datejust.

It previously had an expertly done restoration. It has fully Omega parts and presents in beautifully restored condition.

The case, with its timeless design, presents as mint with only slight signs of previous polishing. The dial has been meticulously restored. The markers show light aging - otherwise it presents as mint, and the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

We have been trying to bring some of our long-term restoration projects across the finish line. Three of our Master Watchmakers have worked for over *11* years sympathetically restoring the watch to breathe new life into it again for future generations, and it became a much bigger project than originally anticipated (a $2195 value.) Our loss is your gain.

As part of the restoration, the fine caliber 1010 movement has been freshly expertly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker.

We have also timed it on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist, and it is keeping accurate time.

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

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

A four and a half decade old Seamaster that looks like new on the wrist!
