Omega Seamaster Automatic Calibre 491 Ref 2848 Mens Watch C1955

1940 - 1960
Description

Fully restored and serviced with a 12 month warranty.

This is a very fine example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Omega.

This watch is the Omega automatic movement calibre 491 which is extremely reliable and it has the model reference number 2848 which makes it quite rare. The sub seconds dial has been restored so is in superb condition. It has the Omega logo on the winding crown and also the Omega buckle. It has just been professionally serviced and a new glass has been fitted.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

It comes complete with a new premium quality chestnut brown leather strap and a new presentation box to keep your watch in perfect condition.

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

The watch case measures 34mm in diameter not including the crown.

Overall this watch is in outstanding original condition and highly sought after by Omega collectors indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn.

The watch has been fully serviced by Alan Williams FBHI and is guaranteed to be a genuine Omega in all respects. It has been professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.

It is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers parts. Each part is then thoroughly cleaned in a three stage ultrasonic cleaning process.

The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturers approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and sealed.

Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give you reliable and dependable service and will not require further service for many years.
