The watch has a calibre 562 automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 22,761,785 which dates it back to 1965.
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the signed Omega winding crown and lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in lovely condition. The screw-on case back has the raised Seamaster logo to the outside and the Omega triangular stamp to the inside along with the case reference 165.001 which is correct for the calibre 562 movement.
The lens is in lovely condition, and it has the tiny clear Omega lens to the centre.
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds sweep and date display. This is an early form of quickset date where the hands are repeatedly moved backwards and forwards between midnight and 9pm until the correct date is reached.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
