1968 Omega Seamaster 600 Vintage Mens Handwound Watch - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 10745

Today's offering showcases this very cool vintage Seamaster 600 mens watch in gorgeous restored condition. Our photos couldn't quite do it justice.

This Seamaster 600 has the appealing straightforwardness of Omega’s mid-1960s designs: a slim stainless steel case, crisp baton markers, framed date aperture, and a hand-wound movement that keeps the watch noticeably thinner and more restrained than many automatic Seamasters of the period, a less common trait for a Seamaster.

The “600” designation refers to the family of manually wound movements used in these watches, and this example is powered by Omega’s cal. 611, originally adjusted to two positions.

Its silver dial gives this Seamaster 600 a beautifully clean, classic appearance. Its finely brushed finish catches the light softly, adding depth without distracting from the restrained design. Paired with the slim steel case and long angular lugs, the overall look is elegant, balanced, and unmistakably vintage Omega.

This example has the nicely embossed hypocampus Seamaster on the back, rather than the more plain engraved version like most.

It measures 34.5mm in diameter without the crown, about the size of a Rolex Date watch - a millimeter and a half smaller than a Rolex Datejust.

The watch has all of its original parts. It has just been meticulously restored as part of a true expertly done restoration and presents as in gorgeous condition. It presents as an easy 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint with very strong lines and a crisp Seamonster on the back. Its dial has been expertly restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

Its caliber 613 handwound movement, originally adjusted to two positions for greater accuracy, and is near pristine.

As part of the restoration, it has just been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

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 for their 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.
