Its case has a wonderfully distinctive case with large double curved lugs that flow like wings juxtaposed against a perfectly flat brushed bezel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn you look past the lugs, the deep blue sunburst dial serves the centerpiece. Under changing light it moves from inky navy to electric cobalt, the radial brushing catching the light in a way that feels almost liquid. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt offers some of the things that we really like from Omegas in this period. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPowering 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, and the highest offering in the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt measures approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Our photos couldn't quite do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts case presents as mint with fairly light signs of previous polishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs part of the restoration, the movement has been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded 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\u003e\nYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
