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

Omega

Item No. 10020

Today's offering showcases this retro styled example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve double quick-setting watches with Tiffany & Co. robin's egg blue dial.

It is in gorgeous restored condition. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.

It is a classic retro Omega with tonneau case, removable Omega bracelet, day and date functions and caliber 1020 automatic movement.

Here are some of its features:

   * Pioneering "double quick-set" day and date features - Omega created the caliber 1020 and 1022 movements with a double quick-set capability for convenient setting of the day and date. Though many connoisseurs associate the idea of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first offered the President model with this "new" feature in late 1990, Omega was a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches, evidenced by this example made about a decade before.
* Full size retro case - Its diameter is 35.5mm, essentially the same size as a Rolex Datejust
* Stunning Tiffany & Co. robin's egg blue color dial - it is a technical dial with 1/5 markings that served the precision timing needs of men in technical, sporting, and racing fields.
* Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy

It has all of its original parts even down to the original Omega waterproofing seal!

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. On the wrist it presents essentially like new.

The case is just short of perfect mint with only light signs of previous polishing and one tiny mark on the edge that you have to be looking for to spot. The high polish facets on the edge are flawless.

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

As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the watch. It continues to running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

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.
