Story
The Seamaster line was born in 1948 to celebrate Omega's 100th anniversary, utilizing waterproof technology developed for the British Royal Navy during World War II.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega rose to prominence by perfecting the 'calibre' system, allowing for interchangeable parts and unprecedented precision.
Condition & Value
The dial shows a lovely 'stardust' patina and some spotting consistent with age, which confirms its authenticity. Value is driven by the 'Seahorse' caseback and the original, unrestored dial.
