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.
