First Double Quick-Set - Gorgeous Restored
Condition - 1 Year Warranty
|
First Double Quick Set Mechanism -
Custom Dial Color - Signed Omega 5x - Gorgeous Condition
The vintage Omega watch featured
in today's offering is a prime restored example of one of the
company's day date Seamaster watches. As a Seamaster, it's a watch
that has both elegant sport capabilities.
Here are some of its
features:
* Pioneering so-called "double
quick-set" day and date features - This is an early double
quick-setting day date Omega watch. Omega created the 1022 series
movement with a double quick-set capability for convenient setting
of the day and date. Though many connoisseurs associate the idea
of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first offered
the President model with this "new" feature in late 1990, Omega's
1020 series mechanisms were a pioneer of the technology in large
scale production watches.
* Caliber 1022 movement. Fast
beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy.
* Fully Omega and in gorgeously restored. The watch is
100% Omega down to the dial, hands, signed winding crown and even
signed Omega crystal and Omega waterproofing gasket.
* The dial has cool 1/5 second increments for precision
timing and racing uses
The dial has been expertly refinished. The printing is
perfect - it could pass as Omega factory done printing to the
naked eye.
The watch is running strong and very
true and is ready for immediate enjoyment.
An almost four decade old Omega that
presents almost like new!
Included with the purchase is a one-year
C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed
Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing
certificate.
