Item No. 9920

Today's offering showcases this classic and very pleasing 1969 Omega Seamaster Cosmic in gorgeous original condition.
It possesses a wonderful retro style and features both day and date complications. It has a classic retro design with tonneau shape and striking two-tone dial with "wide boy" markers. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!
It measures 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.
It has a monocoque - or one piece - case which ensures water resistance and a slim, elegant profile. The case when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.
Powering the watch is Omega's caliber 752 movement with twenty-four jewels (seven more than in many Seamaster versions from the period) and a quick-setting function for the date.
The 700 series has a direct lineage with the celebrated 500 series, and is arguably as good, and collectors are beginning to recognize it accordingly. The series ended the 500/700 family of movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. They were one of the finest mass produced movements from the era.
What is most striking about the watch is its stunning original condition. It is all-original and presents as about a 9.7 out of 10.
Its case presents as mint. Despite what the photos seem to suggest the markings are intact. On the wrist it presents like new with a gorgeous soleil finish.
Its untouched, original two-tone silver and black dial is also mint. As is its Omega signed crystal.
The somewhat uncommon movement, originally adjusted to two positions, has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket Omega vintage style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
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.
The Seamaster:
Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many prominent figures including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els, Prince William, and one graced the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.
Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been embraced by water sports enthusiasts and marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
