Gents 1950s Omega Seamaster wrist watch.
 
The watch has a 20-jewel calibre 501 automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has a serial number with an R prefix which tells us that it is an Omega factory replacement.
 
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just minor marking, nothing serious at all. The inside of the case back has the Omega logo, together with the case reference 2846 8 SC which is correct for the calibre 501 with centre seconds. The back of the watch has the faint Seamaster name and it also states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The Seamaster name, rather than the hippocampus, tell us this watch was manufactured between 1955 and 1958.
 
Correct signed Omega winding crown.
 
The lens is in lovely condition.
 
The signed dial is possibly an old re-dial. Cross hair detail, dauphine shaped hands and the centre seconds hand. There are a couple of small patches of paint loss to the edge and some darkening.
 
A new leather strap has been fitted, it has a vintage Omega buckle.
 
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
