Today's offering showcases this classic and original Omega Seamaster with Explorer style dial. It is original down to the dial, hands, crown, and has a freshly installed correct for this model new-old-stock Omega crystal.

Powering the watch is Omega's fine automatic caliber 563 movement. The 6,9,12 dial is untouched original and mint!

Our watchmaker has freshly cleand and oiled the movement. For the finishing touch we have installed a new crocodile strap.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

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