1940 - 1960
Description

Outstanding Omega gents wristwatch c1957.

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

The watch is the Seamaster fully automatic calibre 491movement, as you can see it is in fabulous condition.

The black sub seconds dial is in superb unmarked condition having been professionally restored. It has rose gold hands and baton markers which really do stand out against the black dial. A new glass has been fitted and the case has been professionally polished so it is in superb condition.

It has the Omega logo on the winding crown and genuine Omega buckle.

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

It comes complete with a new premium quality black leather strap and a new mahogany 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 condition and highly sought after by Omega collectors indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn.

The watch has been fully serviced 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.
