It is an uncommon later model vintage Seamaster with an uncommon original bracelet style. Built at a time when the quartz revolution was taking hold and Omega was cutting costs, this watch with automatic Cal. 1012 movement with quick-setting date carried on the mechanical tradition of the Seamaster. It is the finer higher jeweled version of the 101x series, with twenty-three jewels, six more than in the caliber 1010.
It measures 35.5mm in diameter, about the size of a Rolex Datejust.
It has all of its original parts down to even the original waterproofing seal. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration - it presents in gorgeous restored condition. It presents as a 9.7 or 9.8 out of 10.
The case, with its sharp retro design, presents as gorgeous mint with perfect facets on the sides. Its dial, which has 1/5 second markings for precise sportinng and technical timing, has been meticulously custom restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. It's bracelet shows only mild stretch, and its finish presents as mint.
As part of the restoration the fine caliber 1012 movement has been freshly expertly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.
