Today's offering showcases this classic full size Seamaster 30 in gorgeous restored condition with mint green dial.
Not only is the case larger than those on many of the "dress Seamasters" - this one measures 35mm without the crown, in between the size of the Rolex Date and Datejust - it also has a manually wound movement. The facets on the lugs give it a real elegance.
Although Omega powered the majority of their Seamasters with automatic movements, this Seamasters uses a mechanism from their robust 30 T2 based series.
The famous 30 T2 movement gained a reputation for reliability and accurate timekeeping serving the critical timing needs of the world's Armed Forces during World War II. As time progressed, Omega added upgrades to the movement such as shock protection and extra jewels - as is the case with the Cal. 286 mechanism found in this watch.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents as gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.
Its case, which retains wonderful lug facets, presents as mint with only very slight signs of previous polishing. Its original dial has been meticulously custom refinished in mint green. The printing could pass as factory done to the naked eye.
The color is just slightly lighter and more muted than our photos seem to suggest.
As part of the restoration, its original movement has just been freshly fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is very clean.
After more than half a century, it is still running exceptionally strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
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.
