Omega Seamaster steel vintage wristwatch, circa 1961 Brown Suede Strap A stainless steel manually wound wristwatch with cross-hair subsidiary seconds A great looking version of the model, this watch has a silk-matt, silvered dial with tapered indexes at the quarters and slim baton markers at the intervening hours. The dial retains a great lustre and there is a very light and warm patina to the surface which enhances the watch’s vintage look. Unusually, the dial of this watch does not have luminescent accents and the hands are correspondingly without luminescent panels. The stainless steel case is relatively large for the period of production with a diameter of 35.5mm. There is attractive chamfered detailing to the edges of the lugs and the screw-down case back is centred with the Seamaster logo. We have not had the case polished during servicing in order to maintain the detailing of the facets and chamfers and there are therefore some light scuffs and scratches to the case.
