·For those that don’t know, one of Don Draper’s watches from Mad Men was a black crosshair dial 1960s Seamaster DeVille. There are many articles on the topic (Hodinkee here), however most fail to note that the one he wore in the show was actually a redial (“Swiss made” text positioning is the biggest giveaway). Needless to say, most of the black gilt Seamasters out there are redials, especially crosshair DeVilles post the Mad Men feature.
Last year, I was lucky enough to pick up an original one from an auction house in the UK. I’ve seen other originals - including an identical dial variant as mine from the Omega Enthusiast (also below).
I finally got it back from service, where it also received a NOS crystal. I’m pretty in love 🥰
