It is original down to the dial, hands and crown and presents beautifully on the wrist. Its untouched original silver dial is mint, and its gold-filled top "tropical" steel back case has the look of a solid gold Omega without the price tag.
In construction it is a Seamaster, but this model was only very rarely branded so on the dial.
1960's and early 70's Omega's like this one are great long-term buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.
Its unpolished case shows only slight wear and virtually none of the gold wear that is common with these. It is a very pleasing example of this model.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. For the finishing touch we have installed a brand new genuine crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
