    CLASSIC front load "Unishell" Seamaster with Hippocampus back, from the first year of production, 1960.

    Unpolished stainless steel case showing typical signs of use, with signed crown and signed crystal.

    Striking original black/gilt dial with applied faceted gold figures and Omega symbol. The good, well it's an original black/gilt dial, however it's not perfect, there is a scratch in the top coat near the center between 7 and 8 and a bit of aging around some of the markers when viewed with a loupe. Overall still in very nice condition.

    Nice clean 24-jewel caliber 571 TWO (2) adjustment automatic, serial number dates this to 1960, service history unknown, but is currently running OK. Service recommended.

    Click photos for full size.

    Sorry, all sales final unless grossly misrepresented.

    $895.00, US shipping included, international shipping OK, cost by location. Payment to be discussed.

    And ten out of ten stars for the seller: when he says what it is, it is definitely what he says it is.

    What they said. In fact, if it wasn't for the watch I bought from Norman in August, I'd have this puppy listed as OHPF.

    Understated elegance......
    My opinion of Norman that also applies to this watch.
