Omega Seamaster 30 – Black Dial – 1964 – Hand-Wound Cal. 286 – 35mm

Here we have a beautifully presented vintage Omega Seamaster 30 from circa 1964, offered in outstanding condition and recently refurbished to a very high standard.

This example features a crisp black dial with applied Omega logo and slim baton hour markers, paired with elegant dauphine-style hands. The watch is powered by the reliable and historically respected Omega Calibre 286 – a fully in-house, hand-wound movement known for its robustness and longevity when properly maintained.

The 35mm stainless steel case wears larger than the dimensions suggest thanks to the slim bezel and well-balanced lug profile. On-wrist, it has real presence without losing that vintage elegance – ideal for those on the fence about stepping into vintage sizes.
Modelled on a 17.5cm wrist for reference.

This watch comes presented with an Omega box and has been paired with a new black leather strap (aftermarket strap and buckle). No original papers, which is entirely typical for pieces of this age.

📚 Collector Note – What does “Seamaster 30” mean?

Despite the name, the “30” in Seamaster 30 does not refer to water resistance. It relates to the movement diameter (30mm family of movements) used by Omega at the time. These were precision-focused calibres designed for reliability and accuracy, making them highly respected among vintage collectors today.

💼 Investment Angle – Why This One Makes Sense

Vintage Omega remains one of the safest entry points into collectible Swiss watches. The Seamaster 30 sits in a sweet spot:

• Underappreciated compared to Constellations and Speedmasters
• Genuine in-house movement
• Clean, timeless design that never dates
• Increasing scarcity of high-condition examples with refurbished dials done properly

At £1,250, this represents a strong value position for a 1960s Omega in this level of condition. These aren’t getting easier to find, and the best examples always move first. Buy once, buy right.
