1960's Omega Vintage Mens Seamaster Cosmic Retro, Day Date, Automatic Watch - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 6721

Today's offering showcases this gorgeous original example of a classic vintage Seamaster. Powering the watch is Omega's caliber 752 movement with twenty-four jewels (seven more than in many Seamaster versions from the period), day of the week indication, and a quick-setting date.

It measures 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.

It has a monococque - or one-piece - case, which achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.

What is most striking about this watch is its extraordinary condition. It is fully Omega down to the crown, Omega Beads of Rice bracelet, and even the signed Omega crystal! Its beautiful silver pearl dial is original, untouched and mint. Its case is also mint. Its bracelet presents as just short of mint

As part of the restoration the movement has been freshly serviced by a Master Watchmaker, winds smoothly, and is running very true.

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

Note: Published examples of similar watches can be found in Marco Richon's work Omega: A Journey Through Time, 2007, pg. 403.

An five decade old Seamaster that looks like new!
