The strong black with gilt printing is a perfect refinishing and the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
Note that it come out looking much brighter in the photos than it does in person.
The movement is its original Omega caliber 1337 quartz mechanism with quick-setting date. The hours are quick-setting for easy changing of the time zone and date, while the minutes and seconds hands are set by an "Accuset" push button set into the case designed for precision time setting. Unlike most quartz movements, which have low jewel counts, Omega gave the 1337 a full 17 jewels.
But what is most striking about the watch is its incredible condition! It is in true expertly restored condition. It is fully Omega down to the hands and crown and presents on the wrist as as mint.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
A gorgeously restored three and a half decade old Omega that presents on the wrist almost like new!
