Omega Seamaster 1963 Vintage Automatic – Calibre 552 | Champagne Dial

1940 - 1960
Description

A classic example of Omega’s vintage watchmaking, this 1963 Seamaster (ref. 1655410, serial 240982) offers everything you’d want in a collectible timepiece: character, heritage, originality, and excellent mechanical condition.

This reference features the legendary Omega Calibre 552 automatic movement, housed in a 34mm stainless steel ALD-signed Dennison case (36mm with crown). Dennison, a respected British case manufacturer, produced cases for Omega during this era — ensuring compliance with UK import duties while maintaining Swiss quality standards. The combination of a Swiss-made Omega movement and a British Dennison case gives this watch added historical significance and collectability.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Introduced in 1948, the Omega Seamaster was developed based on water-resistant watches supplied to the British military during the Second World War. By the 1960s, it had evolved into a refined dress watch offering automatic movements and high precision.

1960s models typically feature stainless steel or gold-plated cases, acrylic crystals, and self-winding automatic movements such as the Calibre 552, paired with metallic dials and applied baton hour markers.

Authentic pieces display precise brand iconography including the applied Omega symbol on the dial, a signed crown, correct case back markings such as the Hippocampus emblem, and serial numbers on the movement corresponding to the production year.

A vintage timepiece can be styled in a modern interior by displaying it within a glass-topped watch case, on a leather valet tray, or alongside curated desktop accessories on a study desk.

Preservation requires regular mechanical servicing every three to five years by a qualified watchmaker, avoiding exposure to water and moisture, and storing the timepiece away from magnetic fields.
