·Offering for sale an attractive example of reference KO 105.001-62 - one of Omega’s finest dress chronographs from the Swinging Sixties with the fabled caliber 321 that eventually went to the moon.
In my experience collecting 321 dress chronographs, reference 14904/ 105.001 is one of the scarcest ‘later’ references. By later reference, I am referring to the fact that Omega had already moved to the 6-digit MAPICS system by the early 1960s from the earlier 4/5-digit systems.
Note the absence of Seamaster nomenclature on the dial, which underlines it being a reference coeval with references 2884, 2886, 2907. As this is a yellow gold watch the styling of the lug tips is so very slightly different from the full SS examples and is absolutely correct for this reference.
Overall watch is in Excellent condition, and presents itself much more nicely in real life than in pics:
Price US$4,750 + Shipping
Payment by Zelle, Venmo, Wise, bank transfer or PayPal F&F (+4.5%).
Returns only if grossly misrepresented. As always, photos are part of the description, and I’m happy to provide additional pictures or answer specific questions.
Vintage watches are not waterproof even if gaskets have been replaced during service, etc. These very fine chronographs were never built to modern water resistance standards and should be kept well away from water, humidity, and steam.
