Omega

Seamaster

A heavy vintage 1970's wrist chronograph with central 60 minutes counter, date, 24h indicator and tachy scale

Sold

The tonneau-shaped steel case of the Omega Seamaster Automatic wrist chronograph is waterproof to a depth of 60 m and features wide, satin bevels, covered lugs, a flat mineral lense and a so called "TV dial". The watch is fitted with Omega’s legendary automatic calibre 1040, a modified Lemania calibre 1340 that is remarkable for several reasons - it was launched in 1970 as the first automatic chronograph movement with 28,800 beats per hour and permitted the use of a central minute chronograph hand. This model features an orange-coloured version with "jet" tip.
