The facets on the lugs give it a real elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough Omega powered the majority of their Seamasters with automatic movements, this Seamasters uses a mechanism from their robust 30 T2 based series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe color is just slightly lighter and more muted than our photos seem to suggest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs part of the restoration, its original movement has just been freshly fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is very clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
