Great Original, Working Condition. The original tropical dial has a stunning natural patina, with rose gold dauphine hands and batons, a sweeping seconds hand and a date window. The domed crystal is in good shape. The date aperture to 3 o'clock rolls over at midnight and via the quick-change. The original steel crown (engraved with logo) sets the hands when pulled out, manually winds the watch and controls the quick date-change function (flicking the hour hand between 9 and 12). The steel of the case, lugs, screwback case, original crown and original bezel are all in great shape. The steel screwback case has the iconic "Hippocampus" logo engraved on it, synonymous with vintage Seamaster. The interior looks great, all clean, present and correct. The jewels have been oiled, and the watch keeps perfect time. The superior chronometer movement has a large power reserve and is adjusted to 5 positions and temperatures. The genuine brown leather strap, buckle + genuine Omega case are all new.
*I am a trusted seller with 100% positive feedback after more than 615 reviews and hundreds more transactions.
*As always, there are no guarantees with regard to the timekeeping of vintage/antique watches.
*Please examine all of the photos carefully.
*I can replace a strap or crystal on request (at cost), just be sure to message me in advance as it'll delay dispatch. I can also resize a bracelet before posting it (which will save you £10+ from a jeweller), but ask in advance. I can also have a movement oiled (with Swiss Oils) by a horologist (watch expert) if you can wait an extra few days, and the watch is valuable enough.
*If you have any questions, please ask - I can send additional photos and videos on request and am flexible on postage.
*I'm selling half of my Omega Watch Collection - available for viewing on my page.
