Gorgeous Restored Condition - Large 38mm Diameter - Quick-Setting Date - 1 Year Warranty
Today's auction showcases this classic vintage retro Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 with green vignette dial. It presents in gorgeous restored condition. Our photos couldn't do justice to its condition.
The Seamaster Cosmic is one of our favorite non-exotic Seamasters from the era because of its large size, classic design, and well-made case with unique "bathysphere" style design that has an inner movement holder that houses the movement.
At a time when the quartz revolution was beginning to take place this watch with automatic Cal. 1012 movement, which has seven more jewels than its sister movement the 1010, carried on both the style and mechanical functionality of a traditional Seamaster.
This Cosmic 2000 is large for the era, measuring 38mm in diameter by a full 48mm long.
It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.
The case presents as mint with very slight aging on the edge of the underside of one lug. On the wrist, it presents as gorgeous mint with sharp lines.
The Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished in emerald green vignette - emerald green that fades to black around the periphery. The printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. The steel hands have been whitened - please inquire if you would like them unwhitened.
As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has just fully overhauled the movement. It winds very smoothly and is keeping accurate time.
For the finishing touch, a new leather strap and aftermarket Omega buckle has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their beverly Hills Service Center.
A more than four decade old Omega that looks like new on the wrist!
Note: The watch's page on the Omega website can be found here.

- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it!
- The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.
- In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
-
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you - from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!
- Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
