Gents Omega Seamaster Wrist Watch, C1957

Gents Omega Seamaster wrist watch, c1957.

The watch has an automatic movement, calibre 501, which is working nicely although you can sometimes hear the rotor moving round. The movement is fully signed with the Omega name and the serial number 15,770,786 dates it back to around 1957.

The watch measures 33.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition. The inside of the case back has the Omega triangle logo together with the case reference 2846 8 SC / 2848 which is correct for the calibre 501 movement. The outside of the case back is signed Seamaster Waterproof, although quite faint now. As with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from moisture and water. The winding crown has the Omega logo.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands. There is freckling across the dial and a shade or two of age related discolouration.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
