Our photos couldn't do it justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe suspect this model was country specific to Japan. It is unique from other models - it is most similar to the Speedmaster Classic, except the dial and hands designs are different.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt naturally it fits into the growing neo-vintage category. Built during the transition from traditional vintage watchmaking to the modern luxury era, it combines the proportions and character collectors seek with the reliability and convenience expected from a contemporary watch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe design is quintessential Omega. Its elegant lyre-lug case traces its lineage to some of the brand's most celebrated references. The refinished rich blue sunburst dial delivers a surprising amount of visual depth. Depending on the light, the dial shifts from a deep navy to a vibrant electric blue, creating a dynamic appearance that photographs only partially capture. The applied baton markers, matching hands, and framed date aperture give the watch a refined, understated sophistication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall it looks classic and timeless and is powered by a a robust and sturdy automatic caliber 1108 Omega movement.\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 - the watch presents as a 9.7 out of 10. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts case presents as mint with beautiful high polish facets. Despite what the photos seem to suggest the original lightly engraved serial number is still perfectly intact. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts original Omega dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Our photos couldn't do the watch justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has just overhauled the movement. It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRetail replacement price for a similar new Omega: Approx. $6,800.00 USD + tax \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAn interesting Omega that presents nearly like new for a fraction of the price of a new one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
