Uncommonly large for a Seamaster, it measures approximately 36mm in diameter without the crown by 43mm long, about the size of Rolex Datejust.
Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 562 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs and the co-highest level offering in the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.
It has all of its original parts and presents in gorgeous condition. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.
Its case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has been custom refinished in green vignette - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration the very fine caliber 562 movement with fine swans neck regulation has been freshly expertly overhauled by a Master Watchmakers. It winds very smoothly, and is running amazingly strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch it has been equipped with a new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate use.
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.
