Today's offering showcases this prime example of a classic steel and 18K gold pre-Bond Seamaster 200m dive watch. These Seamasters were the pre-cursors to what are recognized as the James Bond watches.

It has a unidirectional diver's bezel and quartz movement with quick-setting hour for easy switching of times zones.

Unlike most 200's which were all steel, this less common version is two-tone steel and gold, the upmarket version of the watch. Its 18K gold bezel and dial accents looks quite a bit dressier. It has just the right balance to give it a wide range of versatility - it can easily be worn casually or with business dress.

It is a cool watch with a great look. And this uncommon example presents beautifully - a 9.3 out of 10.

It has all of its original parts.

Its case is just short of mint with only slight wear to the inner bezel. The serial number on the back is perfectly crisp. The bezel insert is original hardly any wear except to the luminous pip.

Its bracelet, which has a gold insert on the clasp, shows fairly mild stretch. Its finish presents as mint.

Its dial shows only very mild aging in a few small spots. It is original and in excellent condition.

For the finishing touch, a Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included 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.
