Our photos couldn't quite do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt circa dates to 1969 where it might have laid next to the Speedmaster Professional that would be headed to the Moon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe “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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat gives this one its personality is the strong black dial against the bright steel case. The broad applied markers and clean hands give it excellent legibility, while the simple round case and narrow lugs keep the overall look elegant rather than sporty. It has the sort of uncluttered, purposeful design that made vintage Omega so successful: mechanically serious, easy to wear, and handsome without needing much ornamentation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 a 9.8 out of 10 and the movement is exceptionally clean as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany examples of this watch have passed through our halls - several dozen I would think - this is one of the nicest we have ever owned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts caliber 613 handwound movement, originally adjusted to two positions for greater accuracy, and is near pristine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, it has just been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Seamaster:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOmega 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.
