Omega Seamaster XVI, a special commemorative edition created to mark the 16th Olympic Games held in Melbourne in 1956. This timepiece is not only a fine example of mid-20th century Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship but also a valuable piece of Olympic memorabilia, with an extremely limited production run of approximately 100 pieces originally presented to athletes, officials, and dignitaries associated with the Games. The watch bears the reference number 2850S.C. (clearly engraved on the inner case back) and the unique case number 11426295, confirming its authenticity and provenance as a genuine 1956 Olympic commemorative model. As a proud member of Omega’s Seamaster collection, this watch embodies the brand’s legacy of precision and reliability, which has made Omega the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games on multiple occasions. The 1956 Melbourne Olympics marked a significant milestone as the first Olympic Games held in the southern hemisphere, adding extra historical significance to this already rare timepiece. In terms of specifications, the watch features a classic 34mm case crafted from 18K yellow gold or rose gold (please refer to the actual product for exact material), a size that was iconic of men’s dress watches in the mid-20th century and remains versatile and wearable today. The case is paired with a leather strap, ensuring both comfort and a timeless aesthetic that complements the watch’s vintage charm. Powering this timepiece is a high-quality automatic movement (Caliber 470 or Caliber 471), equipped with 17 or 19/20 jewels and operating at a frequency of 19,800 A/h. This movement is renowned for its accuracy and durability, a testament to Omega’s expertise in watchmaking. The watch functions smoothly, keeping reliable time, a reflection of its well-maintained condition
