The absolute highlight of this example is its beautiful original black waffle dial. The distinctive textured surface gives the dial wonderful depth and makes this a particularly unusual configuration. It is finished with attractive gilt lettering in a warm yellow gold tone, matching the applied gold coloured hour markers and original gold coloured hands.

The gold plated case remains in nice overall vintage condition and retains its attractive proportions and beautifully shaped lugs. As may be expected from a watch of this age, the case shows scratches, small marks and general signs of wear. There are also some areas where the gold plating has worn slightly over time. These signs of ageing are consistent with the age of the watch.

Another particularly attractive detail is the original Omega signed Buckle, which is also the correct type for this specific reference and period. Finding vintage Seamaster examples that still retain the correct original buckle is becoming increasingly uncommon, making this an appealing detail for collectors.

The watch is fitted with a new black leather strap, beautifully complementing the black waffle dial and warm gold tones of the case.

Inside is the classic Omega calibre 351 automatic bumper movement, with movement serial number 13,153,941, dating the watch to approximately 1952.

The watch is presented in nice and honest vintage condition for its age. The case shows some scratches, small marks and areas where the gold plating has worn slightly. These imperfections are consistent with a watch of this age.

The original black waffle dial remains particularly attractive and retains its beautiful textured surface and gilt details.

The movement is running and functioning as may reasonably be expected from a vintage mechanical watch of this age.
