The Watch
The Seamasters was launched in 1948 and have achieved worldwide fame for their rugged reliability. The Seamaster family had its origins in the watches supplied to the British Airforce during the second world war. In 1954, 50 cases equipped with O-ring gaskets were submitted to a succession of extremely severe tests, both in the factory and at the Swiss Laboratory for Watchmaking Reswarch. Each case perfectly resisted pressures of 6 kg/cm2 (corresponding to a depth of 60 metres) and temperatures from -40 C to +50 C, all without showing any trace of water infiltration or humidity.

The Condition
If you search for a safe queen, this isn’t! This 1961 Omega Seamaster have been loved and use by the same person since 1961. It have been with him in the sailboat, at his travels and at all the adventures he did as young, but since the 80’s it was replaced by a quartz watch. Instead we got the opportunity to give it love and now make it available for new adventures at a new wrist.
The dial is 100% factory original dial. It got some signs of ageing at especially the Omega symbol and index 12 where it have change colour and been dark.
The original alpha hands is still there. They got some corrosion but since we want our watches authentic- the original ones are still there.
The case has got some signs of wear and so do also the caseback but is overall in a good condition with sharp lines and correct proportions.
The crown is original!
A lovely vintage Omega from the early 1960’s.
Sold "as serviced” with 12 months of warranty
