THE WATCH

A very elegant 20micron goldplated 36,5mm case with sloping lugs, the size making this a "Jumbo" and is very rare. Slightly domed original Omega crystal, gold and black baton hour markers surround slim baton gold and black hands with centre sweeping seconds hand. The date at 3 o’clock position. Inside we have an Automatic Omega Chronometer Cal.564 24 jewels beating at 19800 beats per hour. A great choice of movement as the Seamaster line typically did not feature a Chronometer movement, this puts it within the realm of the Constellations of that period. Fitted on a new 20mm cognac leather strap.

PERSONAL NOTE

This is an incredibly rare watch! Occasionally you will see a stainless steel version like this pop-up but to see an original 18K Goldplated SEAMASTER COSC model in such great condition, it is not the kind of watch you will see pop up again, not anytime soon anyway. This is a watch that will grow very nicely in value over time.
