It has all of its original parts and presents beautifully on the wrist. Its untouched original silver dial is just short of mint, 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.
With the exception of the top right lug which has wear at the tip, the rest of the case shows only fairly slight wear and virtually none of the gold wear that is common with these. It has not been heavily polished so it retains strong lines.
One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it and installed a new armored crystal. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, it comes equipped 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 and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
