It presents in gorgeous restored condition. Our photos couldn't quite do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Seamaster Cosmic is one of our favorite non-exotic Seamasters from the era because of its large size, classic design, and well-made case with unique \"bathysphere\" style design that has an inner movement holder that houses the movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when the quartz revolution was taking place these watches with automatic Cal. 1022 movement carried on both the style and mechanical functionality of a traditional Seamaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCosmic 2000 watches were large for the era, measuring 38mm in diameter. They fit in well with today's style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBesides its great retro styling, one of the things we like about this watch is its early double quick-setting day date features. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOmega created the 1020 and 1022 movement with a double quick-set capability for convenient setting of the day and date. Though many connoisseurs associate the idea of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first offered the President model with this \"new\" feature in late 1990, Omega's 1020 series mechanisms were a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches. The 1022, which was the higher trim level in the series, had six more jewels than its sibling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents as mint with the tiniest bit of aging on the edge of the underside. On the wrist, the case presents as gorgeous mint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite what the photos seem to suggest the hypocampus logo on the back is still fully intact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished in beautiful smoked sapphire blue - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has just fully overhauled the movement. It winds smoothly. 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\u003eFor the finishing touch, a new complementary dark blue calfskin leather strap has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.\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.
