About the Item

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating. 1979 OMEGA SEAMASTER Vintage Mens Bracelet Automatic Day Date Royal Blue Watch - Stainless Steel Gorgeous Restored Condition - First Double Quick-Set - 1 Year Warrant Today's offering showcases this retro styled example of one of Omega's classic vintage Seamaster double quick-setting watches in gorgeous restored condition with royal blue dial. The 1970s produced some of Omega's most distinctive designs, and this Seamaster is a wonderful example of why collectors are beginning to gravitate more toward the era. It combines the reliability and everyday practicality that made the Seamaster line famous with the bold styling language that defined the decade. The result is a watch that feels unmistakably vintage language of the 1970s. That is precisely what makes it so appealing today. It is authentic to its era, yet stylish enough that it never feels dated. It has a classic tonneau Omega case in one of the semi "TV shapes", distinctive dial, removeable original bracelet with an integrated style, day and date functions and caliber 1020 automatic movement. Once you look past the case, the royal blue dial with light sunburst finish serves as the centerpiece. Under changing light it moves from inky navy to electric cobalt, the radial brushing catching the light in a way that feels almost liquid. In person its color is a true rich, deep royal blue.  Here are some of its features:    * Pioneering "double quick-set" day and date features - Omega created the caliber 1020 and 1022 movements 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 was a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches, evidenced by this example made about a decade before. * Full size retro case - Its diameter is 36mm, the same size as a Rolex Datejust. * Elegant royal blue dial - In person its color is a true rich, deep royal blue.  * Uncommon Omega bracelet - Its bracelet has a distinctive style and is one of the much less common bracelets from the era. * Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy It has all of its original parts down to even its original Omega crystal and original Omega waterproofing seal. It had just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - the watch presents as a 9.6 out of 10. On the wrist it presents like new. Its case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. And its bracelet shows fairly mild to moderate stretch - these were designed with a loose structure. Its finish presents as mint. As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has overhauled the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (an $895 value). It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position. 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.

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating. OMEGA Seamaster 120M Professional Divers Mens Limited Edition Jacques Mayol Automatic Chronometer Steel Watch - 2507.80 Gorgeous Condition - Limited Edition - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned Omega Seamaster 120M Professional Limited Edition Jacques Mayol automatic chronometer watch in gorgeous condition. This numbered limited edition was sold only in Japan in 2001 to commemorate the life of the French diving legend for whom the edition is named. Jacques Mayol was the holder of many world records in free diving, and the inspiration for the film The Big Blue. During his deepest descents Mayol free dove a mind boggling 345 feet (105 meters). This watch is numbered 1167. Mating beauty, class, craftsmanship and usefulness, the watch immediately stands out as a quality time piece to even the casual of observer. With its wonderful deep ocean blue dial, large hands and hour markers, and a calendar window at 3 o'clock its face possesses both a high degree of utility and style. Its dial even has 1/5 second markings for precision timing. Unlike the majority of these 120M's that have quartz movements, this watch is powered by Omega Caliber 1110 automatic movement officially certified as a chronometer that showcases the fine art of traditional watchmaking. The case measures 36mm in diameter without the crown and guards, 40mm with them. In its pre-owned form, it's an excellent value, providing greater quality in design, execution and attention to detail than is often found in watches in this under $3000 price range. It is all-original and presents in gorgeous condition - it presents as about a 9.7 out of 10. Its case presents mint. Its dial and sapphire crystal present like new. A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing. It continues to run strong and true, keeping time nearly on par with a new Seamaster. For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Retail Replacement Value for a Similar New Seamaster: Approx. $8,000.00 USD + Tax Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
