1980 Omega Seamaster Vintage Mens TV Watch, Automatic, Day Date - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 5351

Today's offering showcases this very pleasing vintage day date Omega TV shaped Seamaster. It is fully Omega down to the hands, crown, and waterproofing seal and presents in gorgeous restored condition.

Here are some of its features:

  • Pioneering "double quick-set" day and date features - Omega created the caliber 1020 movement 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.
  • TV style retro case
  • Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy

The case is in mint condition. The dial has been expertly refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. And the bracelet presents as just short of mint.

It is keeping time nearly on par with a new Omega in five testing positions.

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.
