This is an exquisite and wonderfully charming vintage Omega Seamaster Chronograph watch that embodies a perfect blend of elegance and precision. Recently serviced, this timepiece is functioning flawlessly, with all chronograph features operating as intended. At its heart lies the iconic Omega calibre 321 manual wind chronograph movement, boasting 17 jewels. The movement's serial number reveals its birth year as 1966, making it a truly remarkable find for collectors.
What sets this watch apart is its uncommon rose gold plating over a robust steel case, which is in very good polished condition, radiating a timeless beauty. The case measures 35.4mm across, not including the crown, and spans 41.4mm from lug tip to lug tip, presenting a delightful size for a variety of wrist sizes and styles. The case model, 105.005-66, further attests to its historic significance.
Covering the breathtaking original factory finish dial is an original acrylic crystal that remains in excellent condition, protecting the watch’s face while enhancing its vintage allure. While the dial isn't perfect, it is exceptional for this reference, showcasing the character and charm that vintage watches are known for.
This stunning timepiece will arrive accompanied by a brand new 18mm genuine leather strap, ensuring comfort and style on the wrist. The wrist size in the accompanying photo is 6 inches, showcasing the watch's fit and presence.
Additionally, the lucky new owner will receive more than just the watch itself; it comes complete with its original boxes, tags, booklet, cushion, and purchase receipt from when it was bought in 1968.
