Description from the seller
Presented for auction by Second Vintage
A classic vintage Omega Seamaster with a heavily patinated dial. This distinctive timepiece offers a unique visual character shaped by decades of natural aging, complemented by a clearly defined hippocampus caseback and remarkable mechanical performance.
Brand: Omega
Model: Seamaster
Movement: Mechanical
Dial: Heavily patinated with widespread spotting and applied gold-tone indices
Case Size: 34mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-tone with stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1960s
Condition: Fair vintage condition. Timegrapher: -7-10s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The dial is heavily patinated with widespread spotting across the entire surface, giving it a distinct vintage character. Applied gold-tone indices and the Omega logo complement the aged aesthetic, while the printed text remains legible despite the significant spotting. A date window at three o'clock is framed in gold-tone. The gold-tone dauphine hands show heavy oxidation and significant corrosion, particularly on the minute and second hands, matching the aged character of the dial. The luminous material on the hands appears degraded or missing.
Case and Crystal
The gold-tone case displays honest wear consistent with age, retaining good overall shape. Light scratches and wear are present on the case flanks and lugs, alongside some minor wear to the gold plating on the lug edges. A thin, smooth gold-tone bezel is integrated with the case and shows light scratches. The stainless steel caseback clearly displays the classic Seamaster hippocampus logo. The gold-tone crown is signed with the Omega logo and shows some wear to the plating and knurling. A domed acrylic crystal covers the dial, appearing generally clear with some minor surface scratches visible under certain lighting.
Movement
This Seamaster is powered by a mechanical movement. Timegrapher results show -7-10s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring a crocodile or alligator pattern and a gold-tone buckle. The strap shows signs of light wear and provides a classic contrast that complements the vintage aesthetic.
Condition
Fair vintage condition. The watch exhibits significant visible aging, including widespread spotting and heavy patina across the entire dial surface. The hands display significant oxidation and corrosion. The gold-tone case shows light scratches, wear on the flanks, and minor plating loss on the lug edges, as well as visible wear to the crown knurling. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case measures 34mm in diameter, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This Seamaster offers a highly distinct visual presence through its heavily aged dial and hands. With its clearly visible hippocampus caseback and highly accurate mechanical performance, it provides a character-rich wearing experience for those who appreciate honest, natural aging.
History
The Omega Seamaster line, introduced in 1948, was originally designed to provide robust, reliable timekeeping for active individuals. By the 1960s, the Seamaster had evolved into a versatile collection, balancing elegant dress watch aesthetics with everyday durability. The hippocampus logo, introduced to the casebacks in the late 1950s, remains an enduring symbol of the collection. Examples from this era are appreciated by collectors for their refined proportions and the unique ways in which their dials and hands age over decades of wear.
