A Omega Memomatic cal 980 with a very rare case and in immaculate condition.

Desmond (Omega forum user mondodec) have written a fantastic essay on these watches here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/q5zjoyznxgj/Omega Seamaster Memomatic Watch.pdf

The watch I am selling has the case described on pages 6 and 7 as the extremely rare "second generation" 166.072.

The previous owners (trusted members here) has told me that the watch was fully rebuilt by Omega back in 2009 and as a part of this rebuild it received a new case. The starburst finish is perfect. The rear lid has the Seamaster logo perfectly displayed, and the hands, plexi and dial are immaculate.
It comes with the original Omega strap/signed buckle.

Price: US$2000 / EURO$1700 / AU$2800, plus postage to be agreed.

Ooof, this is gorgeous! And at a pretty fantastic price.

I've actually been on the hunt for one of these, but alas, I'm looking for a project, not a 'good' watch.

Fantastic example here, and good luck with the sale!

Woah, that looks super healthy. If anyone was concerned about the condition of it, that amplitude should reassure you, that looks like it was serviced yesterday!

As someone who has been looking into these for a while: This is the cheapest one that is available (or has been for sale in a VERY long time) that isn't a basket case. Sadly, I'm looking for a basket case 🙁
