Here is a wonderful, all original Omega Seamaster from 1969. The brushed silver dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo and steel strip hour markers with black contrast, double markers at 12 o’clock. There are a couple of small marks just right of the dial center. The baton hands are in very fine condition, with the original black contrast intact. The seconds hand shows some corrosion. The 3 o’clock steel framed window displays the date, which can be quick-set by repeatedly pulling the crown out to the outermost position. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The stainless steel bezel is in fine condition, with some overall wear and in particular a nick at around 11 o’clock. The stainless steel case with the original crown and elegant straight lugs is in fine condition, with some marks of wear both at the lugs and on the sides. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a brushed center and some overall wear. 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, Omega’s high grade 565 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in October 2026 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The Seamaster is close to celebrating its 80^th anniversary, having since 1948 combined timeless designs with great engineering. This is a watch that looks great on the wrist and works nicely as part of a vintage collection or a regular rotation.

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.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
