Here is a stunning, all original Omega Seamaster GMT 50^th Anniversary Chronometer from 1998 in excellent condition. The black wave dial is in excellent condition, with a white print Omega logo and lettering and barely any marks. It has large lume hour markers, in particular the triangle at 12 o’clock. The sword hands with the original lume are in very fine condition. The GMT hand is red, as is the tip of the seconds hand. The window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The rotating stainless steel bezel is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The very big stainless steel case with the original crown and Speedmaster bombe lugs has a brushed face and sides and is in excellent condition with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case back has a crisp and clean hippocampus medallion at the center of a wave pattern with the “50 Years” engraving below to commemorate the anniversary of the Seamaster line. It is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The case has been refinished.

The original stainless steel bracelet is in very fine condition with little stretching and light overall wear. It is big enough for large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult. The bracelet can be shortened by up to about 2cm simply by moving a spring bar in the clasp.

Inside the watch, Omega’s high grade caliber 1128 beats strongly and accurately to within about +8 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in March 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

This watch was made in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Seamaster and it is a very fine celebration indeed. It borrows some of the finest design cues from the Speedmaster but has its own clear Seamaster identity. With the great overall condition and original bracelet, this is a wonderful daily driver or part of a regular rotation schedule.
