Dial and Hands

An applied Omega logo and crisp white printed text complete the balanced layout. The luminous hour markers display an attractive, even creamy patina, while the date window at three o'clock remains clean and legible. There is no visible spotting, staining, or damage.

Black painted subdial hands provide strong contrast, complemented by a white central chronograph seconds hand. The paint and lume are fully intact with no visible corrosion or cracking, offering excellent preservation.

Case and Crystal
The 39 mm stainless steel case displays brushed and polished finishes, presenting honest wear with well-preserved geometry. Light to moderate surface scratches and scuffs consistent with normal wear are present, while the lugs retain generally good definition. The caseback features a crisp seahorse engraving and a clear serial number. A stainless steel tachymeter bezel frames the dial, with its black filled engraved numerals remaining mostly intact alongside minor wear in a few spots and light surface scratches on the steel surface. The fluted steel crown is clearly signed with the Omega logo on the face, flanked by fluted chronograph pushers that remain in good condition. The domed crystal is clear, with no significant scratches, chips, or crazing visible.

Movement
Inside the case beats the Omega Caliber 1155, an automatic chronograph movement based on the proven Valjoux 7750 architecture. The rotor is handsomely decorated with Geneva stripes, and the plates and bridges appear clean with no visible oxidation, corrosion, or damage. The screw heads and components look well-preserved, and the movement bears clear OMEGA 1155, 25 JEWELS TWENTY-FIVE SWISS, and 7750 engravings. Timegrapher results show -2-4s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.

Strap

Condition
Good vintage condition. The case and original bracelet show honest, moderate surface wear consistent with regular use, while the striking reverse panda dial and hands remain excellently preserved with an attractive creamy patina. The crystal is clear, and the tachymeter bezel shows only minor wear. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly.
