Product Information
Product code: W1829 Categories: Sold Items, Sold Omega Watches.The Omega Seamaster has remained such an iconic and highly regarded watch since its release in 1948, and here is quite a rare model to come by – a vintage Omega Seamaster Chronometer watch made in 1969.
Traditionally the Chronometer grade movements such as the 24 jewelled automatic Omega calibre 564 that is fitted in this one, was reserved for the Omega Constellation range, so finding a Seamaster with this movement certainly makes it more special and unique. The movement has been fully serviced and comes with our twelve month warranty and needless to say it keeps perfect time.
With the stainless steel case measuring 34.5mm across plus the Omega crown, it is fitted on the beautiful “Beads of Rice” bracelet. This bracelet has gone down in history as one of the most comfortable bracelets on any watch and it really completes the look of this Omega Seamaster perfectly.
With an easy to read dial with the date function, this is a great Omega that is perfect for any occasion.

A brief history of the Omega Seamaster.
First released in 1948 which was also Omega’s 100th Anniversary, the Omega Seamaster was designed to be a robust watch while still being very elegant making it one of the world’s first watches that could be worn with a suit and tie as well as a wet suit in an age where blue collar watches and white collar watches never overlapped.
The Omega Seamaster was in fact born as a result of World War II where the British were after a watch with superior reliability and water resistance with very high precision.
After the war the Omega Seamaster became known as the watch to have on your wrist and one that would never let you down, and is a testament to the classic vintage Omega Seamaster watches that we have on offer.
