Omega Seamaster 120M 196.1501 Sultan Qaboos of Oman Caseback Cal. 1530 Vintage

This listing is for an authentic Omega Seamaster 120M Quartz, reference 196.1501, fitted with the original Omega 1501/823 two-tone bracelet. The watch features the well-known blue wave dial and gold-tone applied indices associated with this era of Seamaster production.

Of particular note is the caseback engraving bearing the Sultan Qaboos of Oman royal emblem, a variation of the Omani Khanjar distinguished by the presence of the crown. Watches with this crest were produced in limited quantities and were typically issued as presentation pieces by the Sultanate of Oman. Such examples seldom appear on the open market and are considered highly collectible.
