Hello, I have a question about my newly acquired vintage Omega Seamaster. My untrained eye could use some help determining if the dial is original. The crown and glass are missing the Omega logo so they have obviously been replaced, but the dial is a little less obvious.
The watch shows some signs of use but overall is in pretty good condition. My question about the dial arose because it’s lacking the “swiss made” printing below the 6 o’clock marker. After a little searching online, it seems like most old Seamasters do in fact say “swiss made” on the dial, but I have come across a few similar looking watches that don’t say it. The small amounts of dust under the glass and signs of wear would lead me to believe that if the dial was refinished, it was done a while ago.
So what do you all think? The serial and case numbers date the watch to 1959 or 1960 (case #14701 1 SC, cal 562.). Were any Omega’s from this time released without “swiss made” on the dial?
