The solid 18k gold case measures 34.3mm across the case, excluding the crown, and spans 42.6mm from lug tip to lug tip, making it a perfect size for those who appreciate classic watch aesthetics. The rare case model, OT 2909 SC, adds to its distinctive character. This model also indicates that the hour markers and hands are solid gold.
The acrylic crystal is in excellent condition, free from significant scratches or wear, ensuring a clear view of the watch face. It features a new rubber case gasket, which enhances its durability and integrity. The factory original finish dial exhibits a well-aged patina that adds to the watch's charm, telling a story of its journey through time.
This Seamaster is powered by a professionally serviced automatic movement, ensuring it runs solidly and accurately. The movement calibre, 505, along with the serial number 16023647, dates this exceptional timepiece back to 1958, making it a true collector's item. The OXG stamp on the movement's balance bridge indicates this watch was sold through the prestigious Norman Morris US Collection.
