It combines the reliability and everyday practicality that made the Seamaster line famous with the bold styling language that defined the decade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a watch that feels unmistakably vintage language of the 1970s. That is precisely what makes it so appealing today. It is authentic to its era, yet stylish enough that it never feels dated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a classic tonneau Omega case in one of the semi \"TV shapes\", distinctive dial, removeable original bracelet with an integrated style, day and date functions and caliber 1020 automatic movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce you look past the case, the royal blue dial with light sunburst finish serves as 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. In person its color is a true rich, deep royal blue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are some of its features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Pioneering \"double quick-set\" day and date features -\u003c\/strong\u003e Omega created the caliber 1020 and 1022 movements 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 was a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches, evidenced by this example made about a decade before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Full size retro case\u003c\/strong\u003e - Its diameter is 36mm, the same size as a Rolex Datejust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Elegant royal blue dial\u003c\/strong\u003e - In person its color is a true rich, deep royal blue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Uncommon Omega bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e - Its bracelet has a distinctive style and is one of the much less common bracelets from the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original parts down to even its original Omega crystal and original Omega waterproofing seal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt had just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - the watch presents as a 9.6 out of 10.
