Here is a wonderful and rare all original Omega Seamaster Chronometer from 1967. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo and faceted steel bar hour markers with black contrast and lume dots at the outer ends, wider markers at the poles. A mark at around 4 o’clock is the main flaw of the dial. The baton hands have the original albeit degraded lume and are in good condition with some wear visible.
The stainless steel watch face/bezel continues the sunburst pattern of the dial and is in fine condition with some overall wear, mostly toward the lugs and a couple of nicks at around 4 o’clock. The stainless steel case with the original crown and straight, elegant lugs and polished sides is in fine condition, showing some overall wear at both the lugs and case sides. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a few marks on both the brushed center and the sunburst rim around it. It bears the inscription “Waterproof”. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.
The original stainless steel bead of rice bracelet is in very fine visual condition, with slight stretching and light overall wear. It is big enough for moderately 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 551 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in April 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.
We don’t see a lot of Chronometer Seamasters, and this one looks great with its slightly more dressy design than most other Seamasters. 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.
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.
