1962 Omega Seamaster Vintage Mens Cal. 562 Automatic Watch - Stainless Steel

Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously restored Seamaster from c. 1963. It matte black dial with slightly unusual wider baton markers and classic case with finely faceted lugs give it a really great look. Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 552 movement used in Seamasters from the era, and one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, and the top tier offering of the 500 series. It is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era. It measures 34mm in diameter without the crown, the size of a Rolex Date watch. It has all of its original parts fully Omega down to the dial, hands, winding crown, and crystal and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10. Its case presents as mint with light signs of previous polishing. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. As part of the restoration, the movement has been freshly overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time. Because of the original crown's small size and semi-recessed position, it's a great candidate to be put on a watch winder so you don't ever have to concern yourself with handwinding it. For the finishing touch, a new leather calfskin leather strap has been installed and an aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
