Today's offering showcases this classic and beautifully restored c,. 1967 Omega Seamaster Cosmic with sky blue color dial.

Vintage Omega watches have long been appreciated for their timeless proportions, excellent movements, and restrained design. While this Seamaster Cosmic shares all of those qualities, what sets it apart is its beautifully refinished dial. Executed in a vibrant sky blue sunburst finish, it gives the watch a fresh, contemporary personality while remaining faithful to the clean simplicity that has always made these models so appealing.

The dial's finely brushed finish catches the light beautifully, shifting from a bright, airy sky blue to slightly deeper tones as the watch moves on the wrist. Its distinctive wide applied baton markers feature finely textured centres that create wonderful depth and contrast against the radiant dial. The combination gives the watch a strong visual identity without feeling overdone.

The smooth, sculpted Cosmic case is an excellent companion to the dial. Its flowing lines and absence of sharp edges give the watch a refined, almost modern silhouette that pairs especially well with the contemporary color. The overall design feels cohesive, as though the watch could have been imagined this way from the beginning.

It measures slightly over 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement, the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. With 24 jewels and a quick-setting date, it was the top tier offering of the famous 500 series and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from the era.

It has all of its original Omega down to the hands and crown and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

Its monococque - or one-piece - case, which achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back, presents as mint with only light signs of previous polishing.

Its original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished in sky blue - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, the movement has been freshly overhauled by a Master Watchmakers. It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Omega Seamaster.

For the finishing touch, a new dark blue aftermarket calfskin leather strap has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Please inquire if you would like to purchase a genuine Omega buckle for it - we have one in stock.

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.

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

For those who appreciate classic Swiss watchmaking but want something beyond the expected, this Seamaster Cosmic offers a compelling combination of vintage craftsmanship and modern style. Its custom sky blue dial transforms a timeless Omega into a truly one-of-a-kind piece that stands out for all the right reasons.

The Seamaster:

Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many prominent figures including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els, Prince William, and one graced the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.

Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been were embraced by water sports enthusiasts and often marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
