Description

This is a fabulous example of a vintage mens watch made by the premium Swiss make Omega.

This is the heavy solid 9ct gold Seamaster with the rare original unrestored explorer dial from 1966 with the twenty four jewel calibre 552 movement one of Omegas most reliable automatics.

The original and untouched dial is in mint condition, it has never been restored, it is finished with solid gold faceted baguette hour markers with solid gold numerals at 3 6 9 and 12 A very rare Explorer dial which really does make this watch stand out.

The Omega symbol is on the crown and it is fully marked Omega on the dial, movement and case as you would expect.

The heavy 9ct gold case has been ultrasonically cleaned and lightly hand polished so it is absolutely pristine with sharp edges. The case was made for Omega by the British company Dennisons who made most of the solid 9ct gold cases used by Omega. Dennison cases tend to be around 25% heavier than the standard Omega watch cases.

The watch case measures 34.5mm in diameter not including the crown.

Omega are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

We can fit any colour or style of strap we keep most things in stock.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition and rare Seamaster highly sought after by Omega collectors.

The watch has been fully serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Omega in all respects. It has been professionally serviced and comes with a one year warranty.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

FAQs

Mechanical watches require regular professional servicing every three to five years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding if not worn daily.

A classic gold timepiece pairs well with tailored suiting or smart-casual garments, serving as a subtle focal point that complements other metallic accessories like cufflinks or signet rings.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarked case metals, matching serial numbers on the movement and case back, and verifying the correct signed crown, dial typography, and calibre.

Authentic timepieces from this era typically feature solid precious metal cases such as 9ct or 18ct gold, acrylic crystals, and mechanical automatic movements powered by the motion of the wearers wrist.

Mid-century dress watches are characterised by minimalist dials, clean geometric hour markers, and slim profiles designed to fit easily under a shirt cuff.
