Gorgeous Restored Condition - Superior Movement - Classic & Striking Style - 1 Year Warranty

Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously restored Omega Seamaster with striking emerald green dial.

Unlike most Seamasters from the era which were automatic, this reference was powered by Omega's uncommon caliber 610 handwound movement. The thinner movement allows for a thinner case than with automatic Seamasters.

Its case has a classicly elegant design with faceted lugs. It has a monocoque construction - or one piece - case which insured water resistance and slim, elegant profile. The case, when new, achieved high water resistance ratings by not having a separate case back.

On you look past the case, the striking dial serves the centerpiece. Custom refinished in a rich emerald green with a pronounced sunburst finish, it has an incredible sense of depth and light play that changes dramatically as the watch moves on the wrist. The color shifts from deep forest tones at the edges to bright metallic green at the center, giving the dial an almost liquid quality that feels both vintage-inspired and strikingly modern.

It measures at approximately 34mm in diameter without the crown, the size of a Rolex Date watch and two millimeters smaller than a Rolex Datejust.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint.

Its original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished in emerald green - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Its color is even a little deeper and richer than the photos seem to suggest.

As part of the restoration, the movement has just been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new forest green calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

We also stock lizard and a variety of others straps in various prints, skins, and colors. A black band would also creating another look for the watch. Please ask us if you're interested.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

A high-grade classic Seamaster that presents like new on the wrist!

The Seamaster:
Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many prominent figures including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els, Prince William, and one graced the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.Worn on the wrists of celebrities Michael Schumacher, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Phelps, and Ernie Els Omega timepieces rank with Rolex and other of the world's fine Swiss firms.

Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been were embraced by water sports enthusiasts and often marry a striking look with a high performance movement.

  • 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it!

  • The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.

  • In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).

  • Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in!

    (Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you -
    from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled.

    Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches
    and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you.

    But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!

  • Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you.

  • Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.

  • To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early.

  • Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.

___

Payment information - we accept:
  • Paypal
  • Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover via eBay checkout
  • Check (We have to hold the watch until the check clears.)

All shipments are fully insured.

International shipments will sent via U.S. International Express Mail or FedEx fully insured.
