Description

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

The watch is the calibre 565 fully automatic movement.

The dial is quite superb having been fully restored and it has the quick set date facility. It has the Omega symbol on the winding crown and a genuine Omega buckle.

A new glass has been fitted and the case has been professionally polished so it is in superb condition.

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

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 34.5mm in diameter not including the crown.

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.

Introduced in 1948, the Omega Seamaster line was originally inspired by water-resistant watches built for the British military during World War II, later evolving into a cornerstone of horological design.

Vintage models typically feature stainless steel or gold cases, acrylic crystals, and high-grade mechanical or automatic movements crafted from brass and steel components.

Authenticity is verified by examining the movement serial number, hallmark stampings inside the case back, correct dial typography, and signed crowns and crystals.

Pair a minimalist mid-century timepiece with tailored modern suiting or sharp smart-casual attire to add classic sophistication to an outfit.

Keep the movement serviced every three to five years, avoid exposure to moisture and magnetic fields, and store the piece in a climate-controlled environment.
