It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, and winding crown. It elegant silver dial with very pleasing markers has been professionally restored by one of the leading dial companies in North America. Its case is in honest original condition with fairly light wear to the main body. As is often the case with these watches, the back has some wrench marks from previous openings for servicing which aren't visible when the watch is being worn.
It has the look of a solid gold Omega without the price tag.
1960's and early 70's Seamasters are great long-term buys as parts are readily available for their well-made movements, and they're not hard to service.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it.
We have timed it in five chronometer positions. It continues to keep very accurate time.
For the finishing touch we have installed a new genuine crocodile strap completing the look and making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
