It is fully Omega down to the dial and hands. It elegant silver dial with very pleasing markers is original and just short of mint. It case is in excellent condition with one ding on a lug. It has the look of a solid gold Omega without the price tag.
1960's and early 70's Seamasters are great long-term buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. We have timed it in five chronometer positions. It continues to keep time virtually on par with a new Omega, keeping chronometer grade time in four positions.
For the finishing touch we have installed a new genuine crocodile strap completing the look and making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
