The watch shows honest signs of wear consistent with its age and utility, particularly on the bezel and case, while the dial remains remarkably clean and attractive. Dial and Hands The matte black dial is in excellent preserved condition, displaying crisp white text and minute markers. The original tritium lume plots have aged to a warm, creamy tone that contrasts beautifully against the dark background. The Mercedes-style hands are correct for this generation, showing matching patina to the hour markers. The date window at 3 o'clock is sharp and legible. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case measures 39mm excluding the signed screw-down crown. The case retains its distinctive profile but shows visible surface scratches and marks throughout, consistent with a watch that has been enjoyed. The unidirectional rotating black bezel shows significant character, with scratching and fading that adds to the vintage tool-watch aesthetic. The crystal appears clear with no major distractions. Movement The watch is powered by a reliable Omega quartz movement, offering reliable vintage performance. The movement is clean and running within vintage tolerances, ready for daily wear. Strap The watch is fitted with its original integrated stainless steel Omega bracelet, reference 1455/453, featuring the correct folding clasp with the Omega logo. The bracelet shows surface wear and scratches typical of its age but remains structurally sound. It is sized to fit a wrist of approximately 18cm. Condition This piece is graded in Good vintage condition. While the case and bezel show clear evidence of use including scratches and dings, the watch retains a strong honest appearance. The dial is the highlight, free from damage or staining, presenting a high-quality vintage look despite the external wear. Dimensions The case diameter is 39mm. The integrated lug design gives the watch a substantial yet comfortable presence on the wrist. Remarks The Seamaster Professional 200m is becoming increasingly collectible as the predecessor to the famous "Bond" Seamaster. This specific example, with its Mercedes hands and 1991 production date, captures the authentic 1990s dive watch spirit. History Omega introduced the Seamaster Professional 200m in the late 1980s as a robust, high-performance diver. It served as the brand's flagship professional diving instrument before the introduction of the Seamaster 300m in 1993. These "Pre-Bond" models are celebrated for their unique integrated case design and their historical significance as the foundation for modern Omega dive watches.
