Today's offering showcases this classic full size Seamaster 30 in gorgeous restored condition. Our photos couldn't do it justice!
Not only is the case larger than those on many of the "dress Seamasters" - this one measures 35mm without the crown, in between the size of the Rolex Date and Datejust - it also has a manually wound movement.
Its "tropical" gold-plated case with steel back has the look on the wrist of a solid gold Omega for a fraction of the cost. The facets on the lugs give it a real elegance.
Although Omega powered the majority of their Seamasters with automatic movements, this Seamasters uses a mechanism from their robust 30 T2 based series.
The famous 30 T2 movement gained a reputation for reliability and accurate timekeeping serving the critical timing needs of the world's Armed Forces during World War II. As time progressed Omega added upgrades to the movement such as shock protection and extra jewels - as is the case with the Cal. 286 mechanism found in this watch.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents as gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.7 out of 10.
Its case presents as mint. Its strong black dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as factory done to the naked eye.
Its original handwound movement has just been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is very clean. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Seamaster.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
The Seamaster:
Worn on the wrists of celebrities Michael Schumacher, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Phelps, and Ernie Els, Omega timepieces rank with those of Rolex and other of the world's fine Swiss firms.
Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been were embraced by water sports enthusiasts and often marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
