The watch presents honest signs of wear consistent with its age and utility as a tool watch, featuring a charismatic dial with beautifully aged lume plots that enhance its collector appeal. Dial and Hands The matte black dial remains in very attractive condition, preserving the classic tool watch aesthetic. The original tritium hour markers have aged to a lovely warm cream patina, adding significant vintage character. The handset features the distinct "Mercedes" hour hand style found on earlier iterations of this reference. The hands show matching patina to the dial plots, with some visible aging and texture to the lume material itself, which is typical for this era. The date window at the 3 o'clock position is sharp and legible. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case measures 38mm and features the model's signature integrated lug design. The case shows visible scratches and handling marks throughout, consistent with a life of active wear. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a black insert with silver numerals, showing scratches and wear particularly between the 10 and 20 markers and near the 50 marker. The screw-down crown is signed with the Omega logo. The caseback displays the iconic Seamaster Seahorse medallion and retains its crisp engravings. Movement Powering this diver is the reliable Omega Caliber 1438 quartz movement. The movement is clean and clearly hallmarked, featuring six jewels and a rhodium-plated finish. Based on the images, the movement is clean and free of corrosion, offering reliable vintage performance and precision timekeeping. Strap The watch is fitted with its original integrated stainless steel bracelet, reference 1465 with 453 end links. The bracelet features a double-locking safety clasp with the Omega logo. It shows moderate stretch and surface scratches consistent with the case condition. The bracelet is sized to fit a wrist circumference of approximately 18cm. Condition This timepiece is graded in Good vintage condition. It is an honest, unpolished example that shows wear commensurate with its age and function. The bezel insert has visible scratches, and the steel surfaces show dings and scuffs. However, the dial remains the star of the show with excellent preservation and warm patina. The watch is running within vintage tolerances. Dimensions The case diameter is 38mm excluding the crown, offering a classic mid-size diver profile that sits comfortably on the wrist. The integrated bracelet design allows the watch to contour smoothly to the wrist, accommodating a size of approximately 18cm. Remarks The Seamaster Professional 200m is rapidly gaining appreciation in the collector market as the bridge between the vintage Seamaster era and the modern "Bond" era. Its robust build quality, combined with the convenience of a high-grade quartz movement, makes it an excellent daily wearer. The specific "Mercedes" hand configuration seen here is often preferred by purists for its classic dive watch legibility. History Introduced in the late 1980s, the Seamaster Professional 200m was Omega's answer to the demand for a robust, high-performance quartz diver. It solidified the "Professional" line for Omega and paved the way for the Seamaster 300m that would debut in 1993 on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan. This specific example, produced in 1991, captures the essence of early 90s industrial design and remains a testament to Omega's enduring quality in marine timekeeping.
