Story
In the mid-1960s, Omega was locked in a fierce battle with Rolex for the title of the world's premier watchmaker, and the Seamaster was their versatile champion.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega rose to become the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games and the choice of NASA for the Apollo missions.
Condition & Value
The movement appears remarkably clean, which is a great sign for functionality. There is significant 'brassing' or wear-through on the gold capping at the tips of the lugs, exposing the steel beneath, and the dial shows a light, honest patina. The crystal has minor scratches consistent with age.
