It is original down to the dial and hands and presents beautifully on the wrist. The centerpiece of the watch is its elegant silver linen dial, 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.
On the wrist the watch showcases very little wear overall. The crown shows spots of wear - please inquire if you would like it replaced. Other than that it presents as just short of mint on the wrist with a few spots of wear hidden on the underside of the lug and case back.
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 Teju lizard strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
