NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU?

1971 OMEGA SEAMASTER Mens Vintage Watch with Automatic Cal. 565 Movement and Black Dial - Stainless Steel

Beautiful Restored Condition - Cool Case Design

Today's offering showcases this classic and meticulously restored c. 1971 Omega Seamaster. Its case has a wonderfully distinctive case with large double curved lugs that flow like wings juxtaposed against a perfectly flat brushed bezel.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 565 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 highest offering in the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.

It measures approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in beautiful condition - a 9.5 out of 10. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

Its case presents as just short of mint with light aging under the lugs and a few heavier spots of aging around parts of the edge of the engine bay. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. 

As part of the restoration, the movement has been freshly fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It is running strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

A half-century old Omega restored to look like new on the wrist!

The Seamaster:

Omega is perhaps best known by watch connoisseurs for its Seamaster line of dive watches. Introduced in 1948, they have been were embraced by water sports enthusiasts and often marry a striking look with a high performance movement.
