It is original down to the dial and hands. Unlike most examples of this watch that have one of several variations of silver dials, this watch has a rare original black dial with gilt lettering.
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. If you would like to see Seamaster signed examples of this reference, please check our inventory as of this writing we have one for sale in our collection.
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.
On the wrist it presents nicely. It has one sliver of gold wear through on the edge of the bezel. Otherwise it is in excellent condition.
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 Swiss lizard 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.
