I had offered this watch in response to a fellow member’s recent WTB thread and thought I’d see if any other members were interested. The dial on this watch is what really sets it apart from the standard Seamaster and SMD models of the 60s. The seashell effect gives the watch a very sharp and elegant appearance and really shines in natural daylight. Applied Arabic numeral hour markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The absence of a date feature gives the watch a bigger appearance on the wrist. The watch features a solid unishell 14k yellow gold case with the sought after Hippocampus on the back. The watch measures approximately 34.5mm, not including the crown. Inside is a cal. 570 automatic movement that was serviced by my watchmaker approximately 9 months ago. As with any watch that has a unishell case, the movement has to be removed through the front of the case. I intended to take some photos of the movement but the bezel (which has to be removed) wasn’t giving way and I didn’t want to risk damaging the dial. In any event, the movement is clean, has been serviced and is keeping good time. Original Omega signed crown. Pictured strap is included in the sale. Price: $1300 USD (net) plus shipping. Not really interested in a trade. The watch and I are in Canada. References: https://omegaforums.net/search/12239980/?q=Vanallard&o=date&c[node]=10
I want to head down SE Marine Drive just to have a close-up look in person. Oh right. We can't these days. Stunning piece. GLWS!
