Hi everyone. I'm very new to this. I've always wanted to own a vintage watch, and finally I picked the Omega to ne my first vintage.
I'd like to ask for help in identifying this omega seamaster. I've been searching for one of these cosmic and I've seen many with dials that has a crosshair line in the middle and also many with date complication but I've never saw one with a clean dial as these.
Edit: the seller mention it's 1980's release. Any input would be very appreciated!

And here's another one I found, it's 150$ cheaper than the previous. But doesn't come with the original buckle and crown tho I really like the dial.

Thank you for that, I'm sealing the deal soon. One more question; is calibre 60x is the original movement for 135.017?

Yes.

The caliber 601 was introduced in 1960 and is one of Omega's best manual wind calibers (IMO).

Just because it's keeping time doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't need to be serviced, which it probably does.

Good point. I will send it for service later. Cheers
