Here is a fabulous and rare, all original Omega Seamaster Chronometer from 1967 in an oversized version. The sparkle silver dial is in near mint condition, with a steel Omega logo and emblem and railroad style steel hour markers with black contrast, wider marker at 12 o’clock. The baton hands have the original black contrast and are in very fine condition. The steel framed window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be semi quick-set by repeatedly pulling the crown out to the outermost position. This should always be done with the hands at the lower half of the dial.
The wide stainless steel bezel has a subtle sunburst pattern and is in fine condition with light overall wear, perhaps most noticeable at around 2 and 3 o’clock. The bold and chunky stainless steel case with the original crown and heavy lugs is in fine condition, with a brushed lugs and sides separated by a polished bevel. It shows some overall wear, mostly at the lugs. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a well preserved hippocampus logo and a few scratches and marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.
The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.
Inside the watch, perhaps the best watch movement ever made, Omega’s caliber 564, beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in April 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
This beautiful and rare Seamaster Chronometer is a pleasure to own and wear with its great condition and size. This is a watch that can be worn for both formal and more casual occasions and it is great as part of a regular rotation schedule.
Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
