It is a later model vintage Seamaster. Built at a time when the quartz revolution was taking hold and Omega was cutting costs, this watch with automatic Cal. 1012 movement with quick-setting date carried on the mechanical tradition of the Seamaster. It is the finer higher jeweled version of the 101x series, with twenty-three jewels, six more than in the caliber 1010.
It measures 34.5mm in diameter, in between the size of the Rolex Date and the Rolex Datejust.
It has just finished an expertly done restoration. It has fully Omega parts and presents in gorgeous restored condition.
The case, with its timeless design, presents as mint with only slight signs of previous polishing. The dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration the fine caliber 1012 movement has been freshly expertly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. We have also timed it on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist, and it is keeping accurate time.
For the finishing touch it has been equipped with a new leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
A four and a half decade old Seamaster that looks like new on the wrist!
