Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously restored c. 1972 Omega Seamaster in gorgeous restored condition.
It measures approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust. It has a wonderful retro waterproof style case and royal blue dial.
The shape of the case is distinctive and pleasing with its sharp edged lack of a second bezel design and flowing curved lugs - our photos couldn't do it justice.
Powering it is Omega's caliber 1012 movement with 23 jewels, seven more than most Omega's from the era.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Its case presents as mint with only slight signs of the back having ever been polished.
Its case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Our photos couldn't capture the beauty of the dial.
As part of the restoration, the movement has been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is near pristine and running very strong and true, keeping time like a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle 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, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Your 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. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
