Hi everyone,

I have a collectible Omega Seamaster from the 70s available for sale today.
z5070023269952_324ef4369dc1f0389cb604ddc5379854.jpg
Here's the detailed description:
- Brand: Omega
- Model: Seamaster
- Reference No.: 168.0061
- Caliber: Omega Automatic Chronometer Cal. 1011
- Serial No.: 37'311'XXX, indicating the watch is approximately from 1973.

For more information about this reference, you can read this fantastic write-up: Japans Final Jumbo Seamaster Chronometer

This is an exemplary piece of this reference and would be a great addition for someone looking to acquire it and keep it stored securely for another 10 years or so maybe?!

Condition of the watch:
- Dial & hands: The original untouched dial is flawless, with a beautiful sunburst effect, and it comes with a correct set of wide baton hands in great condition.
- Case: Unpolished, with sharp edges and original brush finish on the rear, exhibiting minor hairline scratches here and there.
- Crown, plexi-glass: The original components show signs of use.
- Movement: The Omega Automatic Chronometer Cal. 1011 is in good working order, including time adjustment and quick-set date. Service history is unknown, and accuracy is untested.
Here's a quote from the aforementioned article about the movement:
"This is now the third article I've written that speaks highly of the Calibre 1011/1012 movement and some of the unique and interesting watches containing them. These movements genuinely deserve the praise they get for being accurate, dependable, and very long-lasting. With competent servicing from an Omega-trained watchmaker with a parts account, they will perform exceptionally well. I'll remind again that the bad press and negativity surrounding the 'Calibre 100 series' does not apply to the Calibre 1010 and beyond, which are a major redesign with mostly new parts, deliberately designed to address issues found in the early days of the Calibre 100x movements."
- Bracelet: Omega Bracelet BOR (beads of rice) ref. 1036 with No.511 Endlinks, comprising 20 links (3 removable) + 2 endlinks, suitable for about a 7" wrist.
- Box: The watch comes with Omega's double boxing—white carton outer box and a grey leather box inside—in average (or below) condition.

Priced at $1,350 with worldwide shipping included. The shipping service is provided by DHL and usually takes 3-5 days for door-to-door delivery. The watch comes with Secursus insurance covering 100% of its value.

Payment can be made through Wise, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency.

Please note that all sales are final. Feel free to request as many pictures as you need and consider them as part of the description.

Here are some of my humble references on OF: Harry.

Cheers,
Harry
