Gents Omega Seamaster Wrist Watch, 1960

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

Gents Omega Seamaster wrist watch, 1960.

The watch has a 17-jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 268, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number, 17,418,297, dates it back to 1960.

The watch is a good wearable size at 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated while the screw-on case back is stainless steel. There is a little rubbing in places but you have to look closely to see it. The case back has the Seamaster logo to the outside and the Omega logo to the inside, together with the case reference 14389-5. This is correct for the calibre 260 series. The 14389 was first introduced in 1960, the year this particular watch was made.

The winding crown is a later plain replacement.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with subtle vertical stripes, original hands and a subsidiary seconds dial. There is a little marking around the subsidiary seconds dial but overall, the condition is very good.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
