Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously restored 1963 Omega Seamaster with desirable crosshair dial.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 562 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs and the co-highest level offering in the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from the era.

Uncommonly large for a Seamaster, it measures approximately 36mm in diameter without the crown by 43mm long, about the size of Rolex Datejust.

It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, and crown and presents in gorgeous condition. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. The case presents as mint. The crosshair dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration the very fine caliber 562 movement with fine swans neck regulation has been freshly expertly overhauled by a Master Watchmakers. It winds very smoothly, and is running amazingly strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega.

1950's and 60's Seamasters are great buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.

For the finishing touch it has been equipped with a new calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate use.

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.

An over five decade old Seamaster that looks like new on the wrist!

The Seamaster:
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 often marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
