Unlike most Seamasters from the era which were automatic, this uncommon reference was powered by Omega's caliber 600 handwound movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe thinner movement allows for a thinner case than with automatic Seamasters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case has a very classic Omega style with faceted lugs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn you look past the lugs, the true rich royal blue dial with light sunburst finish serves as the centerpiece. Under changing light it moves from inky navy to electric cobalt, the radial brushing catching the light in a way that feels almost liquid. It is a bit darker than the bright photography lights made it look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe measures at approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a monocoque - or one piece - case which insured water resistance and its handwound movement insured that it had a slimmer, more elegant profile than its automatic siblings. The case when new achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents as mint. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has overhauled the movement. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Seamaster in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, a new dark blue calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also stock black leather and a variety of others straps in various prints, skins, and colors. Please ask us if you're interested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Seamaster:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOmega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches.
