I recently purchased a 1956 Omega Seamaster owned & inscribed by Lt. Commander Bill McKenzie, who was the Executive Officer aboard the submarine USS Greenfish (1956-1958). His complete biography is on my website,
www.TimeCapsule-watch.com. (Click <
Presentation / Personal> on the top menu.....)
As a watch designed for sailors, this Seamaster has the ultimate provenance -- it was actually used by a US Navy submarine commander. As you will note in the attached photos, the dial & bezel are in perfect condition; the inscribed stainless steel case back is worn & pitted (as befits a watch exposed to the Pacific Ocean for many years!). The inscription reads, "
LCDR Bill McKenzie ~ USS Greenfish SS351"
Captain McKenzie died in 2018; I purchased his Omega from eBay. I have not opened up the case, so I don't know the movement type.
Please let me know what you think!
