It measures approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.
It is 100% Omega down to the dial, hands, winding crown, and even the original Omega signed crystal!
It has had a true expert restoration and presents in gorgeous condition. The case presents as just short of mint. And the dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
1950's and 60's Seamasters are great buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.
As part of the restoration the movement has been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.
For the finishing touch a new aftermarket leather strap has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
A seldom seen classic Seamaster that presents on the wrist almost like new!
