Our View
A classic early-1960s Omega Seamaster with genuine vintage appeal. While the dial shows significant ageing, its creamy tone and red seconds hand create a uniquely attractive aesthetic. The Calibre 562 movement runs reliably and reflects Omega’s excellence in automatic watchmaking during this golden era. A characterful, affordable entry into vintage Omega collecting.
