Our photos couldn't do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case has a classic design with fantastic faceted lugs. Once you look past the case, the emerald green dial serves the centerpiece. Its light sunburst soliel finish matches the case finish and provides pleasing continuity. Under changing light it moves from deep green to light, the radial brushing catching the light in a way that feels almost liquid. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement used in Seamasters from the era, and one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs It was the top tier offering of the 500 series.

Its color is deeper and richer than the photos suggest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, the very fine caliber 565 movement with fine swans neck regulation has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is running strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of the original crown's small size and semi-recessed position, it's a great candidate to be put on a watch winder so you don't ever have to concern yourself with handwinding it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, it has been equipped with a new dark green aftermarket calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would also pair very nicely with a black strap for a slightly less fashion forward look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded 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\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
